John,

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that we are hosting a live lunch conversation with Ted on his housing policy platform for DeKalb county on Facebook at noon!

We are going to cover these proposals:

Establish an Affordable Housing Trust to help with down payment assistance, rent payments or critical home renovations or energy efficiency retrofits.
Establish an Affordable Housing Trust to help with down payment assistance, rent payments or critical home renovations or energy efficiency retrofits.
Legalize tiny homes and cottage court neighborhood developments to support more housing options, addressing the "missing middle" problem.
Preserve neighborhoods by establishing anti-displacement funds to help eligible low-income families stay in their homes.
Utilize DeKalb Land Bank to regenerate blighted properties into a land trust owned housing developments to preserve affordable housing for the long term.
Establish floating zones for Green Neighborhood and Housing developments. Ensure that new construction is energy efficient and solar and EV ready.
We will also discuss why housing stability is so vital during the coronavirus pandemic. Housing justice is public health, it is protecting children, it is ensuring safe and quality shelter for all.

We will have time at the end for any questions or comments or concerns! Please join us at 12:00 pm EST.

- Team Ted
