Live tweeting tonight’s council meeting!

Agenda item 7 is moved above item 6 and will be right after open public comment.

@SupEllenberg @SVatHome @SupOttoLee @HACdotorg Program participants are clients, not residents. So tenant protections don’t apply. The issues with Milpitas shouldn’t transfer bc of this

@SupEllenberg @SVatHome @SupOttoLee @HACdotorg Alert: a spider just crawled down the screen

@SupEllenberg @SVatHome @SupOttoLee @HACdotorg 2 other community members spoke in support but they were too fast

Another one online is upset about something a different community member said. He wants a refund of state tax dollars for… something. He supports the project

@SupEllenberg @SVatHome @SupOttoLee Ali Sapirman from @HACdotorg has been to every hearing on this project. Remember not to listen to discriminatory comments. She hopes to see the project move forward

@SupEllenberg @SVatHome @SupOttoLee @HACdotorg Gia from @Housing_Choices tells us that this project will be helpful for people who are born with disability. When people are housed that gives an extra boost to permanent housing.
