We supported the Centennial Plaza Tenants Association in its 2nd year of existence, providing support at regular meetings and with events. We helped neighbors create and get signatures on a petition to change overly restrictive rules on their rights to gather and host events in their lobby and common areas. At Acacia Park Apartments, we helped neighbors filed Warranty of Habitability Demand Letters to get their landlords to take action on a mice infestation, which has been successful. Our expenses for this effort included tenant association t-shirts to demonstrate unity and solidarity, food for tenant meetings, printing costs for flyers, and materials for creating a chart to track tenants participation in the association. Expenses related to tenant organizing fall into Advertising and Promotion, Office Expenses, Conferences, Conventions, and Meetings, and Events. 2697 0 0 Organizing neighbors in the Mill Street neighborhood of Colorado Springs to push for measures that will help prevent people from being displaced from the neighborhood and help create new affordable housing. We convened neighbors for monthly meetings to work on the effort to win a Community Benefit Agreement covering the future redevelopment of a nearby closed-down power plant site. Through this Community Benefit Agreement, neighbors are hoping to win funding for anti-displacement measures, new affordable housing development, funding for homeless services, and a new neighborhood community center.

We hosted weekly meetings with people who are currently or formerly homeless in the Pikes Peak Region to discuss issues they face and advocate for the changes they want to see to our local government. We helped leaders of this group make presentations to city council on the need to expand shelter options in town following a bitter cold spell and then advocate for additional trash cans and bathrooms in public parks and along trails to help keep the city clean. Leaders of the Homeless Union learned about how city government works, how the budget is created, and how they can participate, information they will continue to use to be engaged citizens. Our expenses for this effort included Homeless Union t-shirts to demonstrate unity and solidarity, food for community meetings, printing costs for flyers for meetings, and items to hand out during street outreach to promote meetings.
