Please click here to send a message to all the Metro Councilors urging them Say No to Cutting $17.5 million for building affordable housing and ending homeless and housing insecurity!
Metro Council is poised to vote on a ballot measure to adjust the Supportive Services Measure passed in 2020 to assist households either living homeless and under severe rent burdens.
We support changes improving cross-county alignment of strategies for alleviating our affordable housing crisis; investing a portion of funds to expanding permanently affordable housing, and extending revenue collection beyond 10 years.
However, these changes will not succeed in alleviating our crisis if Metro follows through on a 10% tax cut on earnings above 125 K for single households and above 200K for joint filing households in 2026, followed by a 25% cut in 2031. It is predicted that such a deep tax cut will lead to a $17.5 million annual loss in revenue!
