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.

Supportive housing provides both permanently affordable housing and support and services so that our most vulnerable populations can live stable lives. But these projects are often difficult to pencil out due to land and labor costs, difficulties in acquiring financing, expensive permitting and much more. What will it take to reduce the cost and time associated with building these projects? The Terner Center for Housing Innovation recently completed research comparing costs across several San Francisco supportive housing projects, including ones that utilized modular housing technology and application streamlining. The results are eye-opening. Come learn what they found, and explore how their lessons could be applied for significant cost savings across the state.
