Many days, over 100 new Minnesota families are evicted. This is a lose-lose for the whole community: landlords are out the rent, and renters will have a hard time finding housing for many years to come with an eviction record. This is a problem that is easy to solve: $$ for ERA

📈 With the end of #RentHelpMN, eviction filings in Minnesota are soaring. Elected leaders must act urgently to prevent massive displacement in cities statewide and keep thousands of families in their homes. #MNLeg 🔊 Take action: https://t.co/zsW6VtyDvB

@margaretkaplan @EJW_org @Target I’m so lucky to be here!! 🏡

One of the best things I get to do as a @EJW_org fellow at @HsngJustice thanks to my sponsor @Target is speak in support legislation that help MN families seeking housing. Did you know that landlords can choose not to rent to you because you have a voucher? Let’s change that

[MHP @followmhp]

.@STomenes of @HsngJustice in support of HF835's Source of Income Protections:

"This legislation protects individuals and families utilizing a voucher to find housing ... This most impacts the elderly, the disabled, domestic violence victims, and low income families" #mnleg

📰 Housing Justice Center is proud to represent tenants at Victoria Townhomes who have sued their landlord for collecting rent without holding a valid rental license and failing to provide housing that meets city code.

Yesterday as part of my @EJW_org fellowship at @HsngJustice, I was lucky to attend a listening session at Brooklyn Center with local landlords and housing advocates @Africancareer and @HOME_Line to discuss #justcause and #evictionfilingnotice to promote housing stability 🏡

And this is why ads that say “section 8 need not apply” make me crazy

@jimmyfallon Flying from Colorado to Minnesota, I had to open my containers of pumped breast milk for TSA inspection. I accidentally didn’t close one of the containers all the way and dripped a noticeable trail breast milk all the way to the gate #travelfail

📰 HJC attorney Jim Poradek and @legal_aid_MN attorney Luke Grundman: "The pay-to-defend requirement has turned Minnesota eviction actions into a one-way street flowing straight toward eviction; due process has become a meaningless promise to the poor."

@mnhousing @HsngJustice @leerwins 3.8 million? That’s a good start but pretty misleading. How many families have received that relief? 400? Less? On average @HsngJustice helps renters request $5-10k in back rent per household, and we know over 9k households have applied for #RentHelpMN

[Shana Tomenes @STomenes]
