Bloomington City Council member Jenn Carrillo plans to resign at the end of August.
Carrillo said in a message posted on social media that they have purchased a house outside of Ward 6 that they represent. That will make Carrillo ineligible to serve on the council. Ward 6 covers much of downtown and areas south and west of downtown.
Carrillo said they tried to find a new place to live in Ward 6 after their apartment lease ended, but couldn t find another place to stay.
“Never could I have imagined what I ended up finding, once I actually started looking, which was a housing crisis in every sense of the word,” Carrillo said in a Sound Ideas interview. “I found a house I am absolutely crazy about, so all-in-all this is a really good thing for me and my family, but the circumstances that got me here are pretty messed up.
