Fair Rents, Fair Bills: Understanding Rent & Utility Regulations

JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17TH 12PM

Join us for a learning session about San José’s Rent Stabilization Program and possible updates to the city’s rules on how utilities are billed in rental housing (known as Ratio Utility Billing Services, or RUBS).

We’ll break down:

  • What rent stabilization means
  • How RUBS works
  • And what these proposed changes could mean for renters and housing providers

You’ll also learn how to share your feedback and get involved as the city considers these updates and how it can impact you.

This 100% affordable project proposed by Pacific West Communities, originally approved for 94 new affordable homes for low-income residents, has been amended to request approval for 194 affordable units!

Located in the Alum Rock Urban Village, this development will assist the City in reaching its target of 25% affordability across the Urban Village Plan Area. The site is located on the VTA 23 bus line and just a 5-minute walk from the 22, 522, and 77 lines. Future residents will also benefit from access to regional transit via the coming Alum Rock / 28th St. BART station. The surrounding neighborhood has a variety of restaurants and shops, providing easy access to amenities within walking distance for future residents.

This housing development will soften San Jose’s housing crisis by providing deep levels of affordability for families, with home affordability ranging from 40% to 80%  of the Area Median Income (AMI) and a large proportion of 2 bedroom units.

Join SV@Home in telling the City Council that you support this opportunity for 194 new affordable homes in San Jose!
