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.

San Jose City Council Takes Action on Evergreen Senior Homes Initiative

Share:

On March 6th, the San Jose City Council took action to place the Evergreen Senior Homes Initiative on the June 5th ballot.  While all 11 members of the City Council have come out in opposition of the Initiative, there were only two options before the Council– approve the measure or place it on the ballot for voters to decide.  Read more about the Council’s action here.

On the same meeting agenda, the Council voted to place a Charter Amendment on the June 5th ballot– “An Act to Limit Urban Sprawl and the Fiscal and Environmental Effects of Specified Development in Outlying Areas.”  Read more about this measure here.

While SV@Home has taken action to oppose the Evergreen Senior Homes Initiative, no action has been taken on the new Charter Amendment proposed by the City Council.
