Senator Jeff Irwin
Committee Chair
The May 16th meeting is expected to include hearing on Senate bills 205, 206, and 207. These 3 bills would amend the Landlord Tenant Act and the Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act to prohibit housing discrimination on the basis of a legal source of income. The hearing is open to anyone wanting to attend in Lansing and is also going to be available via Zoom.
Please send a card of support to the Senate Housing Committee clerk via email at ofcscc@senate.michigan.gov.
Please indicate the bill numbers and you/your organization's support for protecting the source of incomes of retirees, veterans, parents with child support, persons with disabilities receiving SSI/SSDI and anyone with a housing choice voucher or other form of rental assistance!
MI Renters need these protections and the legislature can assist by passage of these bills that will help tenants and landlords both!
More updates to come following the hearing.
Did you know that Source of Income protections already exist in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti? Here’s a one-page summary the WHA pulled together about these protections.
