Fr. Mitch is asking the community to communicate with our City Housing, Urban Development, and Zoning Committee, pledging your support for Board Bill 114. You do not have to live in the city to express your support. This bill will go a long way toward stabilizing our neighborhoods by removing the ban on many forms of transitional housing while still welcoming community engagement in the discernment of each proposed development. Fr. Mitch plans to attend the public hearing on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at 6:00 pm in Room 208 of City Hall. The link below contains pertinent information that may be of interest to you. Fr. Mitch would like to thank everyone for their consideration.
