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.

The work to end homelessness in our community has historically not included those most impacted by the crisis – and who this work aims to serve – people with lived experience of homelessness. The purpose of this event is to encourage and support organizations involved in this work to not only listen to the true experts of the homelessness experience but really center them every step of the way.

Join us to learn about the importance of centering lived experience in the work to end homelessness and the actionable steps you and your organization can take to do so.

Our panel of experts and sector leaders will discuss current initiatives that demonstrate how we can center lived experience, the value of lived experience advisory boards and more.
