KANSAS CITY. MO — State lawmakers and Jackson County legislators will come together to help residents save their homes.
“They are so worried that they are going to end up losing their properties and being forced out of them and they will be,” said Stacey Johnson-Cosby, a real estate agent active in the effort to help property owners. “These are people that are trying to survive and that are trying to stay in their homes."
A town hall to discuss solutions will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at Colonial Presbyterian Church, 9500 Wornall Road in Kansas City, Missouri.
“This isn't about politics. This is about saving people and their homes,” Missouri Rep. Jeff Coleman said.
Coleman will bring back HJR 33, which he believes will help residents across Jackson County.
Jackson County Legislator Manny Abarca said he wants to discuss possible fixes for homeowners.
“We should be able to figure out how to appropriately fund our school system and appropriately tax people on the value of their homes, but not do it in a way that drives people out,” Abarca said.
Abarca and Coleman say the town hall is about keeping homeowners in Jackson County.
“This isn't about politics this is about saving people and their homes,” Coleman said.
Those interested in attending the town hall can register here.
