As a member of the Better Bozeman Coalition, I have been primarily concerned with the unnecessary physical
destruction of Bozeman neighborhoods under the guise of affordability. I am supporting the request for funding for
tenants right to counsel which addresses the issue of SECURE affordable housing.
The Commission is occasionally asked to fund special interests in the community which complement city policies.
In this case the issue directly involves more than 50% of Bozeman residents concerning the city’s top priority. This
is far from being a special interest.
The court will determine whether an eviction is warranted in a fair setting when both parties have legal
representation. In addition, the knowledge that a tenant will have representation will reduce the frequency of
unwarranted evictions.
I hope you can find a way to assist with the necessary component of affordable housing in our community
Thank you
