It is a dignified way of welcoming those without homes into a caring and respectful neighborhood. P***ing this ordinance will give this micro-home community the opportunity to thrive and change the lives of the individuals who chose to live here in their own homes. This is a game-changer for our city. Let's do this for our citizens, for the Mosaic new residents and for those of us who will have new neighbors. Thank you. Ord 22-27 5/31/2022 4:34 PM Julia Voss   For An individuals basic needs (food, clothing, housing) are essential to living a healthy life. The other component that's important is community. A support system that will alongside someone to help them move in the direction they'd like to go. I can think of no better way than partnering with Sacred Settlement and building Tiny Homes. Ord 22-27 5/31/2022 4:20 PM KJ Bach   For Giving society's homeless a safe, affordable and supportive community is a huge step towards helping our 'neighbor'. With a place to call home, they can have a job without worrying about their belongings. Ord 22-27 5/31/2022 4:20 PM Mark Weber   For I support the ordinance, 22-27 and trust it will p***. I have supported Setttled’s Tiny Home both financially and through the volunteer work of building the tiny homes and getting the site at Mosaic ready. The home are ready, the site is ready and the people that will be occupying the home are more than ready. They want to move into them and now. Please p*** the ordinance so they can take that next step forward. Thanks Ord 22-27 5/31/2022 3:47 PM Sing Vang   For Helping people stay alive is partial; walking alongside with people in living life is complete. This objective will bring wholeness to the lives once forgotten. Ord 22-27 5/31/2022 2:53 PM Rich and Liz Schiferl   For Chronic homelessness is difficult to overcome. This ordinance will allow the development of clean and safe homes in an internally supported community that has a great chance of being successful. Ord 22-27 5/31/2022 2:27 PM Grace McClure-Johnson   For My husband and 3 small children and I live one block from Mosaic church. Our neighborhood is a mix of young families, first and second generation immigrants, elderly residents, and multiple different American-born races. You will hear Spanish, Hmong, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Somali spoken in a 3 block radius of Mosaic. What a perfect space to also welcome those who are looking for the same things we all are-a place to call home and people to call family. I have full confidence in the kind and committed staff and neighbors who are part of this project, and I look forward to seeing it become an example for other Twin Cities neighborhoods. My family and I are in full support and see it as a way for the neighborhood to come together and care for each other, instead of staying segregated. +1 Ord 22-27 5/31/2022 2:22 PM Caleb Mingus   For The cost of housing and living is expensive. This model seems to bring a different perspective and strategy. It should be given a chance! Ord 22-27 5/31/2022 1:53 PM Shannon Jarvi   For With shelters and day programs closing their doors, and Saint Paul businesses driving out options for homeless (https://www.twincities.com/2021/11/08/tom-reids-pub-other-west-seventh-property-owners-sue-city-over-neighboring-homeless-facility/), we need to find new approaches. I believe this is an option worth trying, and is backed by solid research. +1 Ord 22-27 5/31/2022 1:11 AM Kristina Kithinji   For I think this ordinance offers a new and innovative way to house people well in our community. As a neighbor, I’m happy to voice my support! Ord 22-27 5/29/2022 3:09 AM Matthew Montgomery   For Amidst a very difficult time for housing, it would be extremely encouraging to see the city really get behind new ideas. I believe programs like Sacred Settlement Mosaic can make a real difference in the city and I'm happy to voice my support for this program, and any like it in the St Paul community. Ord 22-27 5/25/2022 9:30 PM Paul Ewing   For Housing is hard to find and expensive in Saint Paul. I am encouraged that the city council is open to new ideas. I believe this is worth trying.
