Eviction case and Housing Stability Task Force highlighted during public comment

Schenectady City Council · April 13, 2026

Summary

A resident asked the Council to review an eviction tied to unpaid taxes, while Councilmember Kim Wiggins reported a productive Housing Stability Task Force meeting and emphasized professional, respectful conduct at future sessions.

During public comment, Kelly Horton said she lost her home to eviction over unpaid taxes despite long-term efforts to make payments and multiple returned certified checks; she asked the Council to review her case and consider options to help her regain her home.

Separately, Councilmember Kim Wiggins reported that a recent Housing Stability Task Force meeting was productive and emphasized expectations of professionalism and respectful conduct going forward. Marion Porterfield also praised the task force's work and suggested revisiting bulk-waste policy in connection with housing issues. The Council record does not show an immediate case-specific vote or directive at the April 13 meeting; staff or committee follow-up would be the typical next step.
