City Council Focused On Net Zero Buildings and Subsidized Tenants
"Simmons’ policy order to develop a contingency plan to ensure that Cambridge residents receiving fully or partially subsidized rent from federal grants would not see their housing jeopardized in the event of another federal government shutdown." City has a budget surplus, and President and Fellows of Harvard College has $32 billion. The City Council should pass an order to appropriate the surplus and Harvard's endowment to pay rent for all persons who can't pay their rent, including those without subsidies, e.g. unemployed persons. Maybe the IRS can pay the rents from the fines collected for not joining Obamacare?
