Okay but real talk, your city council made some moves last month that you should probably know about, fam.
### Did your Councillor vote for tenants?
First up, on March 23rd, the Confronting Anti-Black Racism Advisory Committee tabled a motion to address evictions using disaggregated race-based data in social housing. That's a mouthful, I know, but basically, it's about getting real specific data to see who's actually being hit hardest by evictions. It’s crucial for understanding how the housing crisis impacts different communities, especially Black residents. The motion *carried* with a 7-3 vote, which is good news. But, Councillor Amber Morley voted *No*. I gotta be honest, that was a head-scratcher for me, dude. When we're talking about fairness in housing, especially for folks who are already facing systemic barriers, every vote counts. This kind of data helps us build programs that actually work for people in their neighborhoods.
### What's up with insurance at City Hall?
Then on March 9th, the General Government Committee had some interesting action. They were voting on awarding a Request for Proposal to ClaimsPro LP for insurance adjusting services. This passed, 3-1, with Councillors Michael Thompson and Stephen Holyday both voting *Yes*. Councillor Lily Cheng was marked *Absent* for that one. It just makes you wonder, you know? Like, what are the details of these big contracts? And why was one councillor not there for the vote? Transparency is everything when it comes to how our tax dollars are being used for services like this.
Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up.
