We heard loud and clear from homeless shelters and affordable housing providers around the city the best route to move forward was immediate cash assistance to help neighbors stay in their homes—not blunt measures that put people greater into debt. We’re doing that with $1M in rental assistance.
Today, I proposed $1M in rental assistance instead of an eviction extension. I spoke with many housing & shelter providers about what they need. We’ve been down the eviction road before and it doesn’t work. Our neighbors need help and need it now. This funding will do that. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

International Women’s Day is a reminder that progress doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because women lead, organize, create, and push us to be better. Minneapolis is stronger because of the women who serve our city and community every day.

What makes a city safer isn’t fear or force. It’s trust. It’s neighbors showing up for one another.
Minneapolis did not bow. We did not break. We chose resolve over panic and love over hate.
The forces of fear can never conquer a city that loves its neighbors more than it fears retribution.
