During this time of soaring unemployment, financial insecurity, and growing hunger, we urge Congress to temporarily increase SNAP benefit levels in the next federal COVID-19 relief package. America’s cities are on the front line of responding to unprecedented disruption to local economies triggered by COVID-19. As mayors, we need every option available to fight hunger and stimulate the economy in our cities. SNAP is a proven solution to both challenges. By providing families with a grocery benefit they can use to purchase food directly, SNAP is a safe, effective way to ensure that low-income children and their families can get the food they need during this unprecedented crisis. While the FFCRA provided USDA with authority to increase emergency SNAP allotments for existing SNAP households to the maximum benefit, the most vulnerable families—roughly 12 million people, including 5 million children—received no additional nutrition assistance because their household already received the maximum SNAP benefit.

This brief is a product of a 2 month process with a small working group of experts tasked with exploring the current financial gap in affordable housing development and possible solutions to address this gap. HAND staff has presented these initial findings to Mayor Biskupski and will continue to provide specifics around budget and process required for each recommended solution. Background/Discussion: HAND has become increasingly aware of the need for affordable housing and, as such, has launched several efforts to create more access to affordability in the city. Through the analysis of data and community input the lack of funding has been identified as the main barrier in creating and sustaining affordable units in Salt Lake City. Specifically this refers to the subsidy needed in order to have rents lowered to serve people below 80% area median income (AMI) with a special emphasis on 40% AMI.

  • Addressing America's Housing Challenges
    Common Ground: Addressing America’s Housing Challenges Policy Proposals for the Multifamily Housing Industry and the Renters They Serve America today is facing an unprecedented housing crisis. Millions of our neighbors are confronting rising rent costs, a shortage of affordable housing and potential eviction. We cannot wait to find solutions to this problem - we must act now. At Rhino, we are working to address these issues by building products that provide Americans greater financial flexibility, ensure property owners are protected, and remove barriers to obtaining quality housing. By allowing renters to replace their security deposit with insurance, Rhino is helping to unlock more than $45 billion of cash sitting in escrow accounts in order to put those funds back into the economy, allowing Americans to pay off debt, save for emergencies, or invest in their retirement. However, for all that we have accomplished, we recognize there is so much more that we can and should do. In an effort to find practical, effective and real solutions to these issues, Rhino has brought together leaders from across public and private sectors to discuss sustainable solutions to the housing affordability crisis. To this end, in the summer of 2020 Rhino launched the Rhino Housing Innovation Council with the participation of executives, industry leaders and policymakers to explore pragmatic solutions to these issues. With the partnership of top-50 multifamily operators and the mayors of cities like Dayton, Ohio, Richmond, Virginia & Tolleson, Arizona, Rhino’s Innovation Council provides the forum for discussion and thought leadership that is so desperately needed today. We believe that listening to leaders from all sides will result in win-win solutions that ensure affordability for renters while contributing to the prosperity of local housing markets.

  • Mayors Support 30X30
    Mayors Support 30x30 Protecting 30% of America’s Land and Ocean by 2030 I, Mayor ________ of __________, support local, state, and federal action to confront America’s nature crisis by pursuing a goal of conserving at least 30 percent of our nation’s lands and ocean by 2030. Nature is indispensable to the health and prosperity of every community in America. We depend on our forests and streams for clean drinking water and clean air. Our lands are a place of cultural, ecological, and sacred resources that have sustained humanity for generations. Our ocean supplies wild fish that feed our country and provide endless wonder and enjoyment. Our rivers, mountains, and deserts are where families unplug and reconnect. Our parks, open spaces, beaches, trails, and public lands enrich communities’ quality of life and power America’s outdoor recreation economy. Our very existence depends upon the survival of a rich diversity of natural life. Achieving 30x30 will require an ambitious and inclusive movement that engages local, state, national and Tribal leaders, as well as private landowners, as part of the solution. Efforts to conserve, protect, and restore our natural world will be guided by science, protect private property rights, honor Tribal sovereignty, and engage local communities to ensure that the benefits of nature are equitably shaped and shared by all. Positive, bipartisan, community-driven conservation efforts are already happening in our community. I pledge to continue to pull stakeholders together—recognizing this goal will take action at the neighborhood, community, state, and national level. Together, we can and must protect nature for generations to come.

  • Utah's Inspirational Role in the New Slc's Stunning Design
    THE NEW SLC AIRPORT CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF SEPTEMBER 15, 2020 UTAH’S INSPIRATIONAL ROLE IN THE NEW SLC'S STUNNING DESIGN PASSENGER AMENITIES APLENTY FABULOUS NEW SHOPPING & DINING OPTIONS WELCOME TO THE NEW SLC No doubt, flying is a magical experience. As the plane takes off and the land below becomes smaller and smaller, the world seems to melt away as you embark on a journey that will become part of your story. Airports become part of our travel stories, too, and some are more memorable than others. Maybe you remember Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) for the Christmas Eve dinner you ate there after missing a connecting flight due to a massive winter storm. Or the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD), where someone helped you connect when you couldn’t find your gate because, at that airport, gates are not assigned until 20 minutes prior to departure. Or maybe you go out of your way to connect through the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) so you can visit the little shop with the so-unique gifts you found by accident there. When The New SLC International Airport (SLC) opens September 15, we’re confident it will rise to the top of exceptional travel experiences for all those who pass through it, even if they never step foot outside of the building. What will travelers remember about The New SLC? From awe-inspiring art installations like The Canyon and The Falls, and the Delta Sky Club’s outdoor deck, with its beautiful mountain views to the electric plug- ins at each seat in the gate waiting areas to the eclectic roster of high-end shops and restaurants with street pricing, there’s plenty to be impressed by within The New SLC.

  • Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals – Mayor Garcetti
    April 13, 2020 The Honorable Chad F. Wolf Acting Secretary Department of Homeland Security 245 Murray Lane, S.W. Washington, DC 20528 Dear Secretary Chad F. Wolf, We write on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients who call our cities and this country their home. As we face an unprecedented health crisis, we want to ensure that DACA recipients are supported during these difficult times. We respectfully request that you protect the nearly 700,000 DACA recipients awaiting a decision from the Supreme Court on the future of the program by automatically renewing all DACA work permits expiring in 2020. As our nation fights the COVID-19 pandemic, automatically renewing the DACA employment authorization documents that expire this year will ensure that DACA recipients continue to seek medical care, as needed, without fear and, for those who are also healthcare providers and essential workers, that they remain in the workforce. In the midst of this pandemic, the interruption in deferred action from removal and employment eligibility for DACA recipients may create uncertainty and discourage some from getting tested and seeking medical attention during COVID-19. As stated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is critical that any individual who has been exposed to COVID-19 and develops symptoms related to the virus, calls their healthcare provider for medical advice. It is extremely dangerous for our country to have DACA recipients, and other immigrant communities, be afraid to seek medical care during this time because it jeopardizes entire communities and undermines our efforts to address this public health crisis.

  • Mayors from Across the Nation Send Joint Letter to Congress in Support of Arts and Culture Funding in the Wake of the Covid-19 Pandemic
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contacts: Kevin Kopjak | 650-722-3371 | [email protected] Julie Richter | 480-818-8022 | [email protected] MAYORS FROM ACROSS THE NATION SEND JOINT LETTER TO CONGRESS IN SUPPORT OF ARTS AND CULTURE FUNDING IN THE WAKE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC Supported by San Francisco Mayor London N. Breed and spearheaded by the San Francisco Arts Alliance, the mayoral letter calls for specific relief fund efforts in the next stimulus package that focus on the long-term recovery of nonprofit arts and culture organizations and individual artists SAN FRANCISCO (May 13, 2020)—This week, mayors from cities across the nation—supported by San Francisco Mayor London N. Breed and spearheaded by the San Francisco Arts Alliance, an alliance of arts organizations working with the San Francisco arts and culture sector to ensure community arts needs are met on a federal, state and local level—sent a joint letter to Congress in support of funding for the arts and culture sector in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The mayoral letter lays out specific relief efforts that will be essential in local, state, and national recovery efforts, including extending the duration of unemployment insurance for artists, arts professionals, and self-employed workers whose income has been negatively impacted by COVID-19; extending SBA and Paycheck Protection Program assistance for artists and arts professionals and providing additional forgivable SBA loans to nonprofit arts and cultural organizations, self-employed workers, sole proprietors, small LLCs, and eliminate the 500-employee cap for 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations; and adjusting the Economic Stabilization Fund or other mechanisms to implement programs to support nonprofit employers with between 500 and 10,000 employees, including loan-forgiveness and other provisions.
