Here's one thing this week to watch in city hall... a presentation in the General Government & Social Services Committee on the Mayoral Administration's proposal to create a new Department within LFUCG - the Department of Housing Advocacy.
Watch this presentation live during the General Government & Social Services Committee Committee on Tuesday, February 9th, at 1:00pm.
Why should you care?
Lexington's linked housing crises - affordable housing shortages, rising homelessness, and evictions - have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis. Housing prices are rising across Lexington; homelessness cases pose massive local public health challenges; and, despite a national COVID-related eviction moratorium, evictions are still a major issue in Lexington. These problems are rooted in a history of racialized housing policies that have exacerbated income and many other inequalities among non-white communities. Local government and policymakers can have a significant influence on creating more equitable housing policies. If you care about any of these housing issues, you should pay attention to this conversation.
Plus: That thing, last week - How does the Detention Center cooperate with ICE? - and more updates from city hall.
