We are completely united <br />ast <br />eaa� <br />with our allied housing providers in the opposition to rent control and urge your no <br />Addsory Committee <br />vote on rent control and agenda item 33. <br />Erik Boardman <br />oCasparian <br />Betsy Gibson <br />Over the past 39 years MHET has worked with the city council and city staff to <br />Daniel Rudderow <br />Dave'fhomas <br />facilitate communication and to be responsive when mobile home park issues arise, <br />Past Presidents <br />including the issue of rents. We have always been invited to participate in stakeholder <br />Ed Evans <br />meetings that include mobile home owners as well as mobile home park owners. It is <br />J.R.

The MHET Rental Assistance Program (MHET RAP) follows <br />eAd <br />Keith °n. <br />Keith Casenhiser <br />i <br />the same income guidelines as Section 8 and the requirement that the housing costs <br />Rob oaanerIt <br />(rent, mortgage and utilities) exceed 40% of the household income. Like the City's <br />Stanley Magill, Jr. <br />Eileen <br />emergency rent assistance programs, there is a means test.
