Please see the message below from Philomath City Councilor Catherine Biscoe. This sounds like a great opportunity for anyone who is concerned about keeping vulnerable people in their homes.

Although the application deadline is today, I encourage you to apply even if you're receiving this message after the deadline.

Thanks,

Annette

Subject: Time Sensitive: NLC Eviction Prevention Lab

Annette,

The National League of Cities is offering an opportunity on an Eviction Prevention training that was recently brought to my attention, There is a fast approaching deadline, but at least wanted to get this out in front of people in case there is interest. Rather that try and explain too much, I have just included the link for review:

https://www.nlc.org/initiative/2021-eviction-prevention-learning-lab/

There is some interest in Philomath, but not enough to pull together a full team. The National League of Cities does allow cities and counties to partner in putting together a team, and I wanted to at least get the information out there to some of our other local partners, just in case there was interest. This is an 8-session workshop over the course of the next 18 months.

If there are local partners, that you know of, who might be interested in this, could you share this with them? What comes to mind is Corvallis Housing First, the Housing Action Team members or any of our other DEI and housing advocates. There is some Council support who could help round out this effort if there was enough of a team otherwise. Philomath has already established an Inclusivity Committee in Philomath that might help facilitate any action that would be developed through this effort, however, I do not represent the City Council officially through this email.

I would be happy to talk over this with anyone and help draft the application for submittal by the deadline on Friday, if there is enough interest. Thanks for considering passing this this along.
