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.

Accessible design is a hard-fought battle on screens and in streets: many people with disabilities are often barred from both digital and physical communities, in large part because the designers creating those spaces didn’t consider their needs in the process.

Take housing, for example: in order for housing to be accessible, it needs to be affordable—but it also needs to be accessible across disabilities too.

We’re partnering with The Kelsey to discuss what disability-forward design looks like; what accessibility design looks like in both housing and tech, and what the two spaces can learn from each other.

Join us on Thursday, October 28th, 12-1pm PT to learn from accessibility design experts about their work and how we can develop ​​housing policies and design standards to ensure that housing is both affordable and accessible for all.

The webinar will be moderated by Hannah Holloway, Senior Policy Manager. Panelists include:

  • Allie Cannington, Manager of Advocacy and Organizing at The Kelsey
  • Cam Luck, Interaction Designer at Google
  • Nicholas Sanchez

More panelists TBA.
