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.

In order for Los Altans to better understand our Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) target, what is needed for our Housing Element, and how we can plan for new homes, we have invited two representatives from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to speak to our community.  Join us to learn how our city can create a successful plan for housing that satisfies both our state obligations as well as our community needs.

Panelists:

  • Colin Cross, HCD Representative, Land Use and Planning
  • Annelise Osterberg, HCD Representative, Data and Research Unit

Jon Biggs, Community Development Director, and Guido Persicone, Planning Services Manager, will also be available to answer questions as representatives of the City of Los Altos.  Questions will be moderated by Tom Myers, Executive Director of Community Services Agency MV/LA.

Sponsored by the Los Altos Affordable Housing Alliance, League of Women Voters MV/LA, Los Altos Community Voices, Los Altos Community Coalition, Los Altos Forward, Los Altos Women’s Caucus, Los Altos Residents, Justice Vanguard, and SV@Home.
