Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Ann Arbor public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Human Services Partnership priorities
Council funded the 2026-27 winter warming center ($222,000) and set priorities for the Human Services Partnership starting with homelessness, as county homelessness hit a record 821 people.
City Policy Agenda Feedback
The committee set the schedule for building the city's 2027 policy agenda — the roadmap for what Ann Arbor will push for with state and federal lawmakers next year.
DDA Boundary Expansion and TIF Revenue-Share Proposal
The district captured about $394,000 more in tax increment revenue than projected, largely because the district was recently expanded. But a pile of property tax appeals inside the district could force some of that money back, so the real number won't be clear until early 2028.
Rising Hope for Housing Funding
The program serves people leaving incarceration with eviction diversion and trauma-informed housing help. Council locked in $300,000 from marijuana tax revenue and $400,000 from opioid settlement funds for FY27.
