The intent of the legislation:

  • Increase local awareness of rent burden causes and potential solutions in an effort to encourage local jurisdictions to take steps and/or communicate what support they need to address severe rent burden in their community;
  • Collect housing related information to better understand the effectiveness of solutions; and
  • Assist cities in housing planning efforts (technical assistance grants)

 

Cities with populations over 10,000 where greater than 25% of renter households pay more than 50% of monthly income on rent must hold at least one public meeting to discuss rent burdens causes and potential solutions.

  • Complete and submit a survey
  • Report meeting minutes and attendees
