Your record of privatizing public housing, pushing Black& Brown families out of Mpls is long. Your "affordable housing" is for the rich not for us. Did you forget the letter u wrote to Carson/Trump for Section18 to end public housing?#KeepPublicHousingPublic #StopFrey #StopRuss

Why is our mayor @Jacob_Frey continuing to ignore questions from a DC-based journalist and activist about his support for dismantling our city's public housing? Is he afraid of scrutiny?

@Jacob_Frey public housing is way more affordable than the developer-owned, AMI-based "affordable housing" you like to brag about.
your police budget alone could pay for maintaining & expanding public housing & would help far more people.

Twin Cities majority-white area median income
increased from $94,300 yr in 2018 to $100,000 in 2019 while Black AMI is stagnant @$33,436 a yr. The income of public housing families is $14,201to $20,656. Yet the City of Mpls wants to end public housing. facebook.com/DefendGlendale/…

you approved the privatization of all minneapolis public housing.
We are also increasing the base of sustainable, ongoing funding for affordable housing from last year. Dollar-for-dollar, no administration in any Minnesota municipality has ever demonstrated a deeper commitment to affordable housing. #MplsBudget
@iamkaaha: MPHA has the money to maintain and repairs all the sites HOWEVER they say that they don’t have enough money and that they need to privatize. So what’s the truth? #DefendPublicHousing
The city for DECADES have been allowing MPHA to do whatever they want. They are sitting on a 23 million dollar surplus #DefendPublicHousing
@iamkaaha: MPHA is exempt from the Faircloth Limit that prevents public housing authorities from building new public housing except to recoup lost units. Which means MPHA CAN get more money to build units from HUD. #DefendPublicHousing
@iamkaaha: MPHA transfers the deceleration of trust (its a doc that keeps public housing public) to LURA (Lamd Use Restrictive Agreement). LURA is a lease which allows private investors to lease public land through low-income tax credits for a specific time. #DefendPublicHousing
“Nobody should be paying more than 30% of their income for housing.” #DefendPublicHousing
#DefendPublicHousing the system is co-opting terms like “affordability” just to deceive us.
Now there is 14 acres of vacant PUBLIC land and 2 mixed income households. #DefendPublicHousing
@iamkaaha: After the demotion of Heritage Park when residents tried to return back, MPHA turned them away.

Elliot Twins Resident:They want to “temporarily” evict us and have us temporarily relocate! #DefendPublicHousing
These are the properties MPHA may privatize in the next year! #DefendPublicHousing
Moving to work annual report review: This event will provide info about the future plans surrounding public housing in Minneapolis. Refer to the Facebook event page for more info facebook.com/events/51029809…
Shout out to @BlackMuslimPsyc for this amazing conference. Words can’t describe how much this conference truly means to us. May Allah SWT bless each and every one of the organizers in front and behind the scenes. We will be back next year Inshaa Allah! #BMPC2019
Mohamud’s workshop titled “The Dugsi: The Historical Development of Discipline & Devotion in the Somali Educational Paradigm” was an insightful and informative session. #BMPC2019
