Read-Only Content Full Name Alexi Kyro Email lexi.kyro@gmail.com Phone Comments Dear Bozeman City Commission, I strongly urge the City Commission to fully fund a Right To Counsel program for tenants in the city Of Bozeman. Having an eviction on your record makes finding housing incredibly difficult and further exacerbates our housing crisis. By providing a lawyer as a right, we ensure tenants aren’t unlawfully evicted. Only 7% if tenants were represented in eviction proceeding in 2023 while 79% of landlord had lawyers. This exacerbates a power dynamic and fuels our housing crisis. Help stop the problem at the source, please fund tenant right to council. With my best, Alexi Kyro 16 Hoffman Dr Bozeman MT 59715 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.
