• Assist with community outreach efforts to ensure tenants facing eviction have access to EPRAS services.
• Provide recommendations on what existing city and community programs could be expanded with additional funding or funded in future years.
• Help to ensure that the ordinance is being carried out as intended.
• Help define desired outcomes and key indicators that should be tracked to measure success.

Meetings are open to the public and includes time for public comment. Currently meetings are virtual and the link to attend is posted on the morning of the meeting.
