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.

On June 3rd, the Palo Alto City Council is set to discuss plans for a remade Cubberley Community Center. The site is owned by the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD), with 8 acres leased by the city, so the planning process will involve decisions by both the city and the school district. We expect that the Council will be directing staff on which options they should study, so housers will be out in force to advocate for keeping all housing options on the table!

This council meeting follows a series of community meetings during the first half of this year during which participants developed a number of land use alternatives, as shown below.

 

The alternatives contemplate various mixes of PAUSD staff housing with potential affordable senior or city staff housing. SV@Home is most excited about option 4, which could deliver at least 64 units of PAUSD staff housing along with 100 units of affordable senior or city staff housing.

The full information about the Cubberley Master Planning Process can be found on Palo Alto USD’s Cubberley Co-Design site.

 

When:
June 3rd - January 1st 1970
7:30PM - 12:00AM
Where:
Palo Alto City Hall, 250 Hamilton Avenue, Palo Alto, CA, USA
