RE:Top Priorities for City Council
The Human Relations Commission (HRC) respectfully requests that City Councilinclude as top priorities
for the coming two years:
Homelessness
Poverty
Comprehensive Immigration Reform
The HRC is concerned about the implications of the economy for already marginalized and lower income
populations in our City. Economic strife affects all of us, but it affects marginalized populations to a more
profound degree. We appreciate City Council’s efforts to engage in discussion around protecting those
who are already vulnerable in our City and give serious consideration to the potential impact on
marginalized populations when it reviews existing policies and programs or considers adoption of new
policies and programs.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit these priorities to you.
