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.

Measure A Housing Bond Implementation

Share:

Measure A Housing Bond funding approvals are on track, with nearly half of the 4,800 unit goal approved after only 4 years of the 10-year timeline, including 1,503 new homes with supportive services. Some Measure A-funded projects have experienced delays in receiving land use approvals from cities, and some have experienced delays in securing all financing, which has delayed the completion of some units. However, the County does not anticipate that delays will affect the Program’s ability to meet its goals by the end of 2026. Significantly, proposed developments also will help our community prevent homelessness by providing 1,160 homes affordable for working families with very low (VLI) and extremely low incomes (ELI). SV@Home is thankful for the ongoing commitment of the Board of Supervisors, County staff, and the voters of Santa Clara County to leverage Housing Bond funds to end homelessness and address our affordable housing crisis.
