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 event is hosted by City of San José Housing Department as part of Affordable Housing Month 2021. 

What is interim housing? How does it differ from homeless shelters? How does it complement permanent supportive housing? The City of San José is a national leader and innovator in interim housing. The City currently operates five interim housing sites. This approach to housing offers compelling benefits vis-à-vis more traditional approaches to addressing homelessness. However, there are significant tradeoffs.

Join us for a fascinating discussion about the role of interim housing in combating homelessness, and hear experts share what they have learned since San José opened its first interim housing site 16 months ago. 

Ramona Giwargis, editor-in-chief of San José Spotlight, will moderate the discussion. Joining her will be Ragan Henninger, deputy director of the San José Housing Department, and René Ramirez, chief operating officer of HomeFirst.
