Many low-income families and persons experiencing homelessness have debt to the utility companies, which are now barriers to their ability to securing housing. Would you support increasing debt forgiveness programs for 3-4 years to help more people access housing? (Y/N/Explain)

Mayor

The debt many of these people owe to the utility companies is small enough to forgive and it costs us more money to keep these people on the street than to forgive the debt.
