"We don't want to look at the possibility of homelessness. We don't want that for this city." -Antioch ACCE Member Jackie Lowery
@LamarThorpe@tamisha_walker@WilsonME68 you heard it! It's time move rent control, just cause & anti-harassment forward in Antioch! #KeepFamiliesHome
Newsom on homeless people's needs during #COVIDー19: "We have 108,000 homeless individuals in the state... we are in real time procuring hotels and motels to convert to appropriate sites," to shelter the homeless. State is procuring trailers also for rapid housing.
This is POWER.
7 families - nearly 20 tenants - in a 14-unit Fruitvale apartment have been on #RENTSTRIKE for 4 months.
The families' rents have increased over 200% since they moved in while countless maintenance issues remain unfixed & wages remain stagnant.

POWERFUL- “How is it humane that we as a society allow landlords to throw families onto the streets for no reason other than profit?!?"
@CalOrganize President Sasha Graham testifying in support of #AB1482. We must stop rent gouging & unjust evictions - let’s #KeepFamiliesHome
YES!!! Yesterday, #AB1482, the bill to impose a statewide rent cap and provide just cause eviction protections, made it through the Senate Judiciary committee! We can do this! #KeepFamiliesHomela.curbed.com/2019/7/10/2068…
“I don’t look homeless, this could very well be you” Coleen Sykes Ray speaks about the need for more people to be aware and supportive about the issue. Lift your voice this #TenantTuesday and CALL your Senator at: 855-656-7426 to VOTE YES on #AB1482!
#BuildBridgeBelong#PowerofWe
Big vote on #AB1482 coming up! Tell your Senator to vote YES! Research shows clear connection between increasing rents and evictions w/ the rise in homelessness. Until we protect tenants from rent-gouging & unfair evictions, homelessness will keep growing housingnowca.org/supportrentsta…
Looks like Oregon has passed legislation to allow fourplexes and end single-family home only zoning in most of the state — the first to do so. This comes on top of successful legislation earlier this year for a statewide rent cap and anti-eviction provisions
17 Million Californians rent
9 Million are rent burdened (charged over 30% of their income on rent)
5 Million renters are severely rent burdened (charged over 50%)
+13.7% in CA’s homeless pop. in 1 year, 2016-2017
We can #KeepFamiliesHome -vote YES on #AB1482 & #1481
WOW. We've all seen it, but still the number are staggering. Homelessness up 43% in JUST TWO YEARS. This crisis is out of control - we must pass #AB1481 to stop unfair evictions and #AB1482 to stop outrageous rent increases to #KeepFamiliesHome!!!
