Board plans September meeting focused on renter resources and outreach
Summary
The board agreed to make September’s general meeting a forum for renter information and outreach, with an emphasis on practical resources (how to file complaints, city vs county differences) and potential participation by Eugene Tenant Alliance.
Chair said the September general meeting will center on renter information and outreach, and invited board members to help recruit speakers and compile practical resources. "What we wanna do is give folks...where to go if you have a problem. If your electricity doesn't work, what can you do about that?" Chair asked, noting some resources will differ for county residents versus city residents.
Members suggested inviting tenant advocacy organizations (Eugene Tenant Alliance) and local officials as possible speakers and building a working committee on housing to coordinate follow-ups. Committee member D noted existing relationships with school- and garden-focused liaisons who could assist with outreach to families. The group agreed to draft an agenda and to confirm speakers and materials quickly so outreach to renters can align with event promotion for September and October.
