Minneapolis residents seeking to bolster their knowledge of tenant rights and health services can expect to converge at Sabathani Community Center this Saturday. The City of Minneapolis is the force behind a renter rights and health resource fair aiming to educate attendees on various aspects associated with renting, home ownership, and personal health as the colder months creep in. According to a
social media post by Council Member Andrea Jenkins
, interpreters will be present to aid participants in navigating the resources available.
The fair is set to cover an array of important issues, with resources to help tenants overcome common renting hurdles, and information about the obligations that property owners have in the city. Those in need of legal counsel can expect to find free legal assistance. On the health front, adults will have the opportunity to receive COVID and flu vaccinations, while children can catch up on all their essential immunizations. HIV testing, air quality information, and emergency preparedness are also on the roster.
Adding to this, the fair will venture to also address environmental and occupational health by featuring a Green Careers Exploration program, alongside shedding light on issues related to Lead and Healthy Homes. The concerns of lead-paint poisoning, its risks, and the means to test for it, will be given attention. With over half the households in Minneapolis renting their homes, as noted in the Facebook post from
Minneapolis Ward 8
, the fair stands as a vital primer for many city dwellers.
The resource fair is one not to be missed by locals, taking place from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 9 at the Sabathani Community Center, located at 310 E. 38th St. For those that are unable to attend this weekend’s event, a second fair is scheduled to unfold on Tuesday, Nov. 19 from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., at Urban League (2100 Plymouth Ave. N.). Both events represent a concerted effort from the city to make sure that every resident has a chance to access these critical resources, understand their rights, and take the necessary steps to start the winter healthy and informed.
