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.

Learn about the SV@Home Action Fund’s work to further a pro-housing agenda through local elections and in state legislation.

The SV@Home Action Fund (Action Fund) works locally and in Sacramento to further our housing policy goals. In this Policy In Action event, we’ll give you an update on both of those fronts, and answer your questions.

In advance of the June 7th Primary Election, the Action Fund circulated housing-focused questionnaires to local candidates, and organized a series of candidate forums. Find out what we’ve learned, and how you can learn more about where candidates stand on housing and homelessness.

May is in the middle of the state legislative calendar, so now’s a great time to check-in on what’s happening in Sacramento. The Action Fund’s lobbyist, Graciela Castillo-Krings of Sacramento Advocates, will join us to share the latest on housing-related legislation and funding.

This is SV@Home’s first monthly Policy In Action event, but it’s really a rebranding of our long-running “HAC” series. We hope you like the new name as much as we do!

The SV@Home Action Fund is a 501(c)(4) non-profit, affiliated with SV@Home, a 501(c)(3).

 

Policy in Action @Home (formerly HAC), is a monthly, informal brownbag discussion convening Housers to engage on hot housing topics. Every month, we select a topic or current event, bring in an expert to give a brief presentation, and then open up the discussion to ask questions, float new ideas, and identify potential areas for shared action.

This event is open to SV@Home members and the general public. Interested in supporting ongoing SV@Home programming, advocacy, and policy work? Become a member and/or renew your membership today here.
