  Last fall, Georgetowne Tenants United (GTU) won an agreement by Beacon
Properties to freeze rents for 286 moderate income families for at least a
year. At GTU’s request, Beacon also filed with HUD for a possible renewal
of the Section 8 contract for Georgetowne I, which expires on February 28,
2010. Beacon has NOT announced a final decision on Section 8 renewal.
_Beacon only has until the end of February to either renew, opt out, or
seek a short term extension._

  Renew Section 8 Now!

GTU is demanding that owner Howard Cohen renew the contracts for at least
20 years NOW.  Tenants to know that our homes will remain as affordable
housing.

  GTU Rally to Save Our Homes!

  Demand that Beacon Renews Section 8 NOW!
