In 2017, Silicon Valley Community Foundation launched its first “On The Table,” bringing together approximately 7,000 residents at nearly 800 conversations to talk about our regional housing challenges in the Bay Area. Last year we got the housing conversation started, this year is the time to discuss solutions. Come find like-minded people, bring your lunch — we’ll provide beverages and dessert — and join SPUR, SV@Home, and Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley in conversation as we work to make new connections between people of different backgrounds and from different communities to identify shared solutions. Co-presented by SV@Home and Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley.
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.
