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. In 2023 out of 136 eviction cases filed in Bozeman only 4% of tenants beat their
eviction and remained housed. In addition to loss of housing, 30% of these tenants also had to pay huge debts to
their former landlords. This is a major cause of folks in this valley becoming unhoused and forced to live in unsafe
conditions. Many of these could have been avoided if tenants had legal right to counsel. Please support the funding
of this program in order to stop the spread of homelessness. Sincerely, Derya Avci 618 W. Babcock, Bozeman, 59715
