Hot off the press! Our first issue of Eviction Cliff News is here. Each week a new update on for policy makers and community members on the eviction cliff, with news from the edge, updates from Sacramento, and more. mailchi.mp/bbcce742ac68/e…

The state's application for rent relief for tenants and landlords is here: housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/.

San Mateo County needs to extend the eviction moratorium to allow families with COVID-related rent debt to apply for AND RECEIVE emergency funds. We need more time to prevent mass eviction and homelessness.

San Mateo County has $47MM in funding to help families with COVID-related rent debt, but only $19.9MM has been requested! Tenants face language and technological barriers, and most landlords don't know about the program. smdailyjournal.com/news/local/ren…

The annual cost for support of people in permanent housing is LESS EXPENSIVE than the annual cost of offering a temporary shelter bed. It's the smart thing to do and the moral thing to do. Sign this petition and tell @LondonBreed to fund the hotels: chng.it/fFvSfrjxKG

San Francisco has a golden opportunity to invest one-time state and federal funding to expand the stock of permanent supportive housing for thousands of unhoused San Franciscans. Sign this petition and tell @LondonBreed to fund the hotels: chng.it/fFvSfrjxKG

Immigrant working families have been especially harmed by COVID-19. @FIABayArea leader Sonia Alvarenga owes nearly $15K in back rent after losing her job as a cleaner at @MosconeCenter last year, and she is excluded from receiving any federal relief. ow.ly/naUj50EUngl
