Email: agenda@bozeman.net Mail to: Attn: City Commission PO Box 1230 Bozeman, MT 59771 First Name Petria Last Name Russell Email Address ptrose39@gmail.com Phone Number 2535690961 Comments Dear Bozeman City Commission, I am submitting this comment to advocate for the use of American Rescue Plan funds to improve and expand public, subsidized housing in Bozeman. It is especially important to maintain subsidized, affordable housing as remote workers and other out of state buyers and renters have driven up the cost of housing without having to rely on local wages. High-quality, subsidized housing that is centrally located near schools, public transportation, and other public services are essential for maintaining the safety and stability of our communities. Of course, housing-focused efforts will best improve communities in conjunction with addiction services, mental health services, quality education, higher wages, and other efforts to reduce social isolation. Please do not put these funds towards existing city projects and instead use this funding influx to promote affordable and equitable living in Bozeman. If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with your comment, you may alternately address agenda@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all information.
