As the city filed it
At its meeting on November 19, 2025 the Housing Rights Advisory Committee considered Item HS8.2 . Summary from the Housing Rights Advisory Committee: We are writing to recommend ways that the City can use its maximum available resources in the 2026 Budget to progressively advance the right to adequate housing. Our recommendations focus on supports for people in greatest need (i.e., those who are unhoused and those experiencing complex health challenges), renters at risk of evictions, and people who need help gaining access to affordable rental housing.

Staff recommended
The Housing Rights Advisory Committee recommends that the Executive Committee: 1. Request City Council to request the Mayor to consider, in the development of the 2026 budget, ways to maximize available resources to support people in greatest housing need, tenants in need of eviction support and other related services, and more transparent reporting of how investments are being used towards these efforts.
