Dear Commissioners,
I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed allocation of excess funds to
tenants specifically for legal fees. While I support ensuring access to legal resources, I believeit's important to acknowledge that other sources of legal aid already exist within our
community.
Additionally, if public funds are being distributed to assist tenants, there should be equalconsideration given to landlords who also face legal and financial challenges--particularly
small, local property owners. Fairness requires a balanced approach that supports all partiesaffected by housing issues in Bozeman.
I've served as the advocate for tenants and landlords for HRDC for numerous years giving my
time and skills to assist many parties.
I urge the commission to reconsider this proposal and explore more equitable and sustainableuses of funds.
Thank you for your time and service.
Sincerely,L Jean Nedrud
