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.

Eden Housing and Architects FORA invite you to join an educational workshop on Trauma-Informed Design (TID) principles and how these principles, in combination with Trauma-Informed Care provided by support staff, can foster a sense of control, safety, choice, collaboration, and empowerment for all residents – especially those who have experienced the trauma of housing instability. The workshop will include emerging research, case study projects, and activity prompts on how to implement trauma-informed strategies. Attendees will then be invited on a scavenger hunt to find the examples of TID principles in action – within the design and operations of Solaire Apartments.

Solaire Apartments represents a thoughtful and innovative case study for TID, highlighting the role that affordable housing has to raise the bar for health and wellbeing. Through a careful balance of aesthetic beauty, functionality, and research-driven strategies, Solaire Apartments provides a safe, welcoming, and healing environment for low-income households and formerly homeless individuals.
