The plan will be submitted to the City Council before the end of this year. There will be additional opportunities for public input before the Council adopts the plan early next Spring. This meeting is an opportunity to talk about how the Housing Levy will contribute to broad community goals- such as ending homelessness and promoting sustainable, transit-oriented communities- over the next few years.
