Maine renters, housing advocates and even some lawmakers equipped with cowbells and other noisemakers gathered in Augusta Wednesday morning to remind legislators that together they hold the keys to solve Maine’s affordable housing crisis. #mepolitics mainemorningstar.com/2024/03/13/the…
Around 100 Mainers are demanding action in Augusta on affordable housing. They rallied at the Maine State House, calling for rent relief. DETAILS: tinyurl.com/322sudhe
Thank you to everyone who came to the State House today for the housing rally! As Rep. Ambureen Rana said, "Instead of stashing more of [Maine's] surplus into an overflowing rainy day fund, we should invest it in housing opportunities." #HouseEveryone #mepolitics @MeEqualJustice
MECEP was proud to join @MeEqualJustice's rally for housing at the State House today. The affordable housing crisis has been years in the making and will take years to address. Meanwhile, Mainers need immediate relief to stem the rising tides of evictions and homelessness.
🔑🔑🔑We are amazed today by Mainers standing up for housing justice and asking Augusta to fund rent relief and shelter now!🔑🔑🔑 #mepolitics

There is so much moving through committees and on the floor of the Maine House and Senate these days, it can be hard to keep up. To that end, here is a brief round-up of some notable legislative action this week that we didn’t cover elsewhere. #mepolitics mainemorningstar.com/2024/02/16/a-l…
Today, legislators, housing advocates & renters urged lawmakers to pass rent relief so everyone can afford to stay in their homes. Advocates also delivered hundreds of petitions & Valentines to Gov. Mills in support of ensuring safe, affordable housing #mepolitics #HouseEveryone
Even if we act now to invest in affordable housing production, it will take years to see results. With eviction filings and homelessness increasing across the state, Mainers are struggling to stay housed and cannot afford to wait this long. #mepolitics mecep.org/blog/rent-reli…
