St. Paul 2023 Autumn Report

The St. Paul MICAH Chapter Virtual Bus Tour was very well attended this year, with over 60 guests and a well-crafted roster of stops, all along the continuum to housing. At almost every point in the tour we saw the impact of the historic legislative actions that were taken this year, as a unified state government invested heavily in shelter, housing, and other services.

On March 17, 2022, the St Paul Chapter of MICAH heard a report from members of the East Side Housing Justice group and the Southeast Community Organization tenant organizer about organizing happening at The Haven of Battle Creek, a 215 unit apartment building on the southeast edge of St. Paul.

The St. Paul Chapter of MICAH agreed to support the work of East Side Housing Justice at The Haven by attending its first organizing meeting for tenants, held on March 21st. At that meeting, 20 tenants got to know each other better and shared information with one another about problems they were having at The Haven.
