Xiving on Social Security, there was no
way I could afford a place to call home. It.
was frightening. But I was able to find-one
of the rare, subsidized apartments that so
many others can't. Now I can pay my bills
and get decent groceries. More important,
I have stability, peace and independence."

"Every year, the rents are going up here in
my apartment. I’m paying $750 but they are
going to raise our rent this year, we’ve
heard. We're on the waiting list for a lot of
other low-income housing, but it’s been a
long time and we're not able to get into
other affordable housing because there's
not enough affordable housing in this city.
That's why Ewent to,City Hall to testify in
favor of Measure 26-179. so that there can
be more affordable homes and apartments
for people in the city."
