His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment were among those that rallied at the Capitol this week to fight for stronger protections. In a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CalOrganize/status/1299072822539509761?s=19\">series of tweets\u003c/a>, the group criticized the compromise bill as \"complicated and burdensome for tenants.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Gavin Newsom is literally about to make a deal that could throw millions of Californians out of their homes in the coming months amidst a pandemic – most of them poor, Black and Latinx. If that's not cold-blooded racism, we're not sure what is,\" the organization wrote on Twitter Thursday, as the compromise bill was in its last day of negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CalOrganize/status/1299072822539509761?s=19\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill comes right under the wire, since Monday marks the end of the legislative session. The state Senate is poised to vote on the COVID-19 relief act on Monday, but the bill will face a high hurdle – a two-thirds majority – to pass. Then it will make its way back to the Assembly for a final vote and the governor’s signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom said at his noon press conference he was \"pleased\" and \"grateful\" that \"people that don't always see eye to eye, don't always agree,\" came together across their differences to create a compromise bill to help tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They \"worked very hard over a long period of weeks, not just days,\" he said, \"to accommodate not only for tenants, millions of people at risk of eviction, to accommodate for timing when those evictions will occur, to accommodate for small landlords that rightfully are concerned about not being able to pay their mortgages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both previous tenant protection bills, AB 1436 and Senate Bill 1410, authored by state Sen. Anna M. Caballero, D-Salinas, are now off the table. Caballero, Chiu, Newsom and advocates for tenants and landlords hammered out the compromise bill over the last few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How It Works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Notably, the legislation doesn't stop \u003cem>all\u003c/em> evictions. And the provisions to protect renters come with timelines attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the main tenant protection provisions in the bill:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Full protections:\u003c/strong> Any rent missed between March 1 and Aug. 31 will be converted to civil debt. This means landlords can take tenants to small claims court for any missed rent — but they can't evict you for not paying it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Protections with a caveat:\u003c/strong> Rents missed between Sept. 1 and Jan. 31 are a different story, however. Tenants \u003cem>must pay\u003c/em> 25% of rent within that period or else they'll be open to eviction. The remaining 75% of their rent is treated as a civil debt, just like the provision for missed rent from between March 1 and August 31.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>More time:\u003c/strong> Also under the new law, the usual three-day notice to evict that landlords post – mandatory before they go through the court process to evict a tenant – is now a 15-day-notice.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How to file:\u003c/strong> That notice is also how a tenant begins protecting themselves from eviction: Once a landlord has posted a 15-day notice, a tenant can file with their landlord that they have a pandemic-related hardship.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caveats and Concessions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former version of this compromise bill – Assembly Bill 1436 – also authored by Chiu, would've allowed anyone to file an attestation that they were experiencing a pandemic-caused financial hardship to qualify for eviction protection. Now, that requirement is tighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Perjury:\u003c/strong> Under the new version of the bill, tenants must swear under penalty of perjury that they are enduring a pandemic-related hardship. Tenant advocates are worried that may scare off undocumented immigrants and other vulnerable populations from filing for those protections in the first place.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Means-testing:\u003c/strong> If a tenant earns 130% of a county's area median income or higher, a landlord can ask for them to produce \u003cem>proof \u003c/em>of a pandemic-related financial hardship, like a layoff or wage-reduction notice from an employer.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>No more eviction moratoriums:\u003c/strong> Eviction moratoriums previously passed by cities and counties will be grandfathered in, but they won't be able to pass any extensions specifically for evictions regarding non-payment of rent. While some of them are stronger than the state's provisions, some are set to expire after 30 days.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Courts:\u003c/strong> Courts will face a tighter time frame, too. They'll have until just Oct. 5 to begin processing evictions for non-payment of rent in non-COVID cases, though sources familiar with the negotiations suggest courts may find themselves scrambling to ramp up staff in time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Property owners:\u003c/strong> Mortgage forbearance is now out of the picture. Under pressure from groups representing small property owners, Chiu had amended AB 1436 to allow property owners – even non-landlords – to make late mortgage payments. Under pressure from the banking industry, that's now gone.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Despite concerns from tenant organizations, the California Apartment Association, representing landlords, were supportive of the compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='eviction-moratorium']“We’ve been working around the clock with lawmakers and the governor’s office to make sure the legislation is fair and balanced,” said Debra Carlton, executive vice president of state public affairs at the California Apartment Association, in a statement. \"Our goal has been to provide both help for tenants who are truly affected by COVID-19, as well as compensation for landlords, especially mom and pop owners, at risk of foreclosure after several months without rent payments.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked to describe negotiations with the California Apartment Association and lawmakers who had their ear, Chiu noted \"the landlord industry is an incredibly powerful force in Sacramento,\" making tenant bills notoriously hard to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'll be the first to say this proposal has shortcomings. We wanted more. We fought for more,\" Chiu said. While the bill won't halt all evictions, \"it will prevent many evictions and delay even more.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he added, \"turning away from an imperfect proposal and allowing all evictions to resume immediately without any protections is just not an option. The consequences are too dire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The state Senate is poised to vote on the COVID-19 relief act on Monday, but the bill will face a high hurdle – a two-thirds majority – to pass. Then it will make its way back to the Assembly for a final vote and the governor’s signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom said at his noon press conference he was \"pleased\" and \"grateful\" that \"people that don't always see eye to eye, don't always agree,\" came together across their differences to create a compromise bill to help tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They \"worked very hard over a long period of weeks, not just days,\" he said, \"to accommodate not only for tenants, millions of people at risk of eviction, to accommodate for timing when those evictions will occur, to accommodate for small landlords that rightfully are concerned about not being able to pay their mortgages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both previous tenant protection bills, AB 1436 and Senate Bill 1410, authored by state Sen. Anna M. Caballero, D-Salinas, are now off the table. Caballero, Chiu, Newsom and advocates for tenants and landlords hammered out the compromise bill over the last few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How It Works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Notably, the legislation doesn't stop \u003cem>all\u003c/em> evictions. And the provisions to protect renters come with timelines attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the main tenant protection provisions in the bill:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Full protections:\u003c/strong> Any rent missed between March 1 and Aug. 31 will be converted to civil debt. This means landlords can take tenants to small claims court for any missed rent — but they can't evict you for not paying it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Protections with a caveat:\u003c/strong> Rents missed between Sept. 1 and Jan. 31 are a different story, however. Tenants \u003cem>must pay\u003c/em> 25% of rent within that period or else they'll be open to eviction. The remaining 75% of their rent is treated as a civil debt, just like the provision for missed rent from between March 1 and August 31.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>More time:\u003c/strong> Also under the new law, the usual three-day notice to evict that landlords post – mandatory before they go through the court process to evict a tenant – is now a 15-day-notice.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How to file:\u003c/strong> That notice is also how a tenant begins protecting themselves from eviction: Once a landlord has posted a 15-day notice, a tenant can file with their landlord that they have a pandemic-related hardship.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caveats and Concessions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former version of this compromise bill – Assembly Bill 1436 – also authored by Chiu, would've allowed anyone to file an attestation that they were experiencing a pandemic-caused financial hardship to qualify for eviction protection. Now, that requirement is tighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Perjury:\u003c/strong> Under the new version of the bill, tenants must swear under penalty of perjury that they are enduring a pandemic-related hardship. Tenant advocates are worried that may scare off undocumented immigrants and other vulnerable populations from filing for those protections in the first place.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Means-testing:\u003c/strong> If a tenant earns 130% of a county's area median income or higher, a landlord can ask for them to produce \u003cem>proof \u003c/em>of a pandemic-related financial hardship, like a layoff or wage-reduction notice from an employer.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>No more eviction moratoriums:\u003c/strong> Eviction moratoriums previously passed by cities and counties will be grandfathered in, but they won't be able to pass any extensions specifically for evictions regarding non-payment of rent. While some of them are stronger than the state's provisions, some are set to expire after 30 days.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Courts:\u003c/strong> Courts will face a tighter time frame, too. They'll have until just Oct. 5 to begin processing evictions for non-payment of rent in non-COVID cases, though sources familiar with the negotiations suggest courts may find themselves scrambling to ramp up staff in time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Property owners:\u003c/strong> Mortgage forbearance is now out of the picture. Under pressure from groups representing small property owners, Chiu had amended AB 1436 to allow property owners – even non-landlords – to make late mortgage payments. Under pressure from the banking industry, that's now gone.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Despite concerns from tenant organizations, the California Apartment Association, representing landlords, were supportive of the compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There are many things you can do to help – right away, in a few weeks and even a year from now. That help can range from simply offering moral support to cold, hard cash, to pitching in on errands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families can lose all their material possessions in a fire, from everyday necessities like clothing and computers to cherished memories contained in photos or diaries and essential documents like passports and birth certificates. The recovery process isn’t only about reacquiring things – it also involves months of slogging through the bureaucracy of insurance companies and government agencies and slowly rebuilding a sense of home and security.

Clean socks, underwear and a change of clothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Items like shoes and jackets are helpful, but a little trickier. You can give away a bag of clothes, but unless you know someone’s size (and maybe fashion taste) you may not want to give them too much stuff that they’ll have to spend precious time sorting through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the weeks following the disaster, offering to shop for clothing together or giving a gift card are good options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Place to Stay\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This one is pretty obvious. But the coronavirus pandemic does complicate matters, as questions about how to stay socially distant or potentially invite additional members into a “pod” will need to be a part of this conversation among all household members and fire survivors — especially since fire survivors won’t likely be able to quarantine for 14 days before joining a household.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Find them immediate housing; put out the call for longer term housing,” says Kim Anderson, whose San Francisco apartment burned in a 2016 fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Buy Groceries or Make a Meal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Offer to make a grocery run. Depending on whether the fire survivor has access to a refrigerator and kitchen, you might want to get foods that are nonperishable or ready-made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook up a hot dinner and deliver it around mealtime. Or give a gift card to a local restaurant for a COVID-19-safe pickup, or to a meal delivery service that can bring takeout to wherever they’re staying.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Help With Debris Removal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Many people will want to go back to the site of their home and sift through the ashes to look for remnants of their belongings. Offer to go along, but be aware that this can be a difficult and emotional process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sight of a lost home may be a sacred burial ground of a lost life.

Picking up or dropping things off are a frequent need. You can also help with research, whether it’s online or jumping on the phone to make calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the more arduous tasks that many people face is documenting the belongings they lost in the fire for insurance purposes. You can help inventory items and their estimated values — it’s painstaking work that many hands can make lighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a great tip from \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anderson\u003c/span>: you can donate expertise, like legal or accounting services.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Give Money or Gift Cards\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even if your loved ones are insured, insurance payouts won’t necessarily be coming right away. Meanwhile, there’s a long list of belongings that need to be stocked up again: pots and pans, clothing, school supplies and — eventually, when it’s time — furniture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cash never hurts, say most fire survivors, and gift cards are an excellent alternative. You can also organize fundraisers or collect donations on their behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giving household items, whether you buy them new as gifts or donate used ones, is also a good idea. But be thoughtful about it — many items, like appliances or furniture, can take up room, so be sure your friends or loved ones are ready to accept them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/9papertrees/status/1296931542753632256\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Help With Cleaning\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Whether it’s where they’re staying for the time being or a new place they’re moving in to, offer to clean — and bring along all the needed cleaning supplies, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Thoughtful Touches\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fires claim more than just physical belongings. So many experiences and memories live in yearbooks, photo albums, artwork, souvenirs — even trophies from sports teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can try to hunt down an extra copy of someone’s high school yearbook — perhaps by calling their high school. You could create a scrapbook or dig up old photos and create a new photo album.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there’s a holiday around the corner, like the Harvest Moon Festival, Thanksgiving or Hanukkah, some seasonal decorations can brighten up a living space. If you enjoy arts and crafts, consider sewing a Halloween costume or making a wreath.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A little bit of delight is important in times like this.

Already more than 100,000 residents around the Bay Area have been forced out of their homes in emergency evacuations as crews battle massive wildfires in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11834086/what-you-need-to-know-bay-area-lightning-fires\">North Bay, East Bay and South Bay\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do you know someone who lost their home in a fire? There are many things you can do to help – right away, in a few weeks and even a year from now. That help can range from simply offering moral support to cold, hard cash, to pitching in on errands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families can lose all their material possessions in a fire, from everyday necessities like clothing and computers to cherished memories contained in photos or diaries and essential documents like passports and birth certificates. The recovery process isn’t only about reacquiring things – it also involves months of slogging through the bureaucracy of insurance companies and government agencies and slowly rebuilding a sense of home and security. Survivors can use help with all of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was kindness from those near and far, friends and strangers, that created beauty in the midst of ugliness and healing in the midst of despair,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11628364/how-to-help-a-friend-who-lost-their-home-in-a-wildfire\">wrote Carolynn Spezza\u003c/a>, who lost her home to the 2015 Valley Fire in Lake County.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Immediate Necessities\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the immediate aftermath of a fire, people need the basics: a toothbrush, toilet paper, phone chargers, pain medication — although if they’re staying in a hotel, some of these might be covered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other basic items needed right away? Clean socks, underwear and a change of clothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Items like shoes and jackets are helpful, but a little trickier. You can give away a bag of clothes, but unless you know someone’s size (and maybe fashion taste) you may not want to give them too much stuff that they’ll have to spend precious time sorting through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the weeks following the disaster, offering to shop for clothing together or giving a gift card are good options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the coronavirus pandemic does complicate matters, as questions about how to stay socially distant or potentially invite additional members into a “pod” will need to be a part of this conversation among all household members and fire survivors — especially since fire survivors won’t likely be able to quarantine for 14 days before joining a household.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Find them immediate housing; put out the call for longer term housing,” says Kim Anderson, whose San Francisco apartment burned in a 2016 fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Buy Groceries or Make a Meal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Offer to make a grocery run. Depending on whether the fire survivor has access to a refrigerator and kitchen, you might want to get foods that are nonperishable or ready-made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook up a hot dinner and deliver it around mealtime. Or give a gift card to a local restaurant for a COVID-19-safe pickup, or to a meal delivery service that can bring takeout to wherever they’re staying.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Help With Debris Removal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Many people will want to go back to the site of their home and sift through the ashes to look for remnants of their belongings. Offer to go along, but be aware that this can be a difficult and emotional process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sight of a lost home may be a sacred burial ground of a lost life. Focus on being a respectful guest with slow moments and quiet energy,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11628364/how-to-help-a-friend-who-lost-their-home-in-a-wildfire\">Spezza advises\u003c/a>. “Allow your friend to remain the leader at all times.

Picking up or dropping things off are a frequent need. You can also help with research, whether it’s online or jumping on the phone to make calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the more arduous tasks that many people face is documenting the belongings they lost in the fire for insurance purposes. You can help inventory items and their estimated values — it’s painstaking work that many hands can make lighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a great tip from \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anderson\u003c/span>: you can donate expertise, like legal or accounting services.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Give Money or Gift Cards\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even if your loved ones are insured, insurance payouts won’t necessarily be coming right away. Meanwhile, there’s a long list of belongings that need to be stocked up again: pots and pans, clothing, school supplies and — eventually, when it’s time — furniture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cash never hurts, say most fire survivors, and gift cards are an excellent alternative. You can also organize fundraisers or collect donations on their behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giving household items, whether you buy them new as gifts or donate used ones, is also a good idea. But be thoughtful about it — many items, like appliances or furniture, can take up room, so be sure your friends or loved ones are ready to accept them.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The Judicial Council of California voted Thursday to end its moratorium on evictions and foreclosure filings on Sept. 1, about two weeks later than they were initially set to end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move gives lawmakers a little more time to fashion new protections for millions of California tenants facing eviction, and property owners struggling to pay their mortgages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislative leaders and Gov. Gavin Newsom are knee-deep in negotiations over a long-term solution, which would pick up when the current moratorium expires. Assemblymember David Chiu, D-San Francisco, who authored AB 1436 — one of the bills under consideration — told KQED those two weeks are preciously needed time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are breathing a very quick sigh of relief, but we have a ton of work in front of us,\" Chiu said. \"We simply cannot allow a massive wave of evictions to occur in California. It would be catastrophic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The human suffering would be extraordinary,\" Chiu said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roughly 4 million California renters are at risk for eviction by the end of September, \u003ca href=\"https://www.aspeninstitute.org/blog-posts/20-million-renters-are-at-risk-of-eviction/\">according to a model to predict national eviction risk developed by The Aspen Institute\u003c/a>, a coalition of economists and legal experts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Judicial Council – the state court system's policymaking body – first enacted an emergency eviction moratorium and halt on foreclosures in an April decision, which they were poised to end in June. But California Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823891/california-courts-halt-plan-to-lift-eviction-moratorium-in-august\">called off that vote\u003c/a> to provide more time to Gov. Newsom and the legislative branch to find an alternative solution to halt evictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Judicial Council has received thousands of comments from those affected – from tenants who fear homelessness to small landlords who face losing their livelihoods or fear bankruptcy,\" Cantil-Sakauye said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I promised the Governor that we would assume this responsibility with the greatest care,\" Cantil-Sakauye added, but \"the duty of the judicial branch is to resolve disputes under the law and not to legislate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislative branch is negotiating solutions, even now.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Legislative Solutions\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>AB 1436 proposes extending eviction moratoriums for as long as California remains in a state of emergency, and includes extra time for landlords and any homeowners to pay their mortgages in the form of forbearance. The bill largely has the backing of tenants groups and unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers are also considering Senate Bill 1410, introduced by state Sen. Anna M. Caballero, D–Salinas, and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That bill would offer tax credits to property owners to make up for any unpaid rent due to the pandemic. SB 1410's backers include advocacy groups representing property owners, like the California Apartment Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='eviction-moratorium']SB 1410 \"offered a solution that will help housing providers continue to pay their bills, and their employees, while also making it a little easier for struggling renters to get back on their feet financially when the pandemic ends,\" said Debra Carlton, the Apartment Association's executive vice president of state government affairs and compliance, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Chiu said talks are early, he said it's important any final compromise bills include enough time for tenants to repay any owed rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's what we are trying to figure out. What does that timeframe look like with the uncertainty of stay-at-home orders and this economy? And it's very difficult to predict,\" Chiu said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But we know the longer this goes on, the harder it is for tenants to make it. But also it creates ripple effects with other parts of the economy, (like) struggling landlords and homeowners who are trying to make mortgages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom are knee-deep in negotiations over a long-term solution, which would pick up when the current moratorium expires.

But California Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823891/california-courts-halt-plan-to-lift-eviction-moratorium-in-august\">called off that vote\u003c/a> to provide more time to Gov.

The movement, and the activists behind it, have made a name for themselves by “suing the suburbs” like Lafayette, in a bid to push California to “build, build, build” its way out of the housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, nearly a decade after the project first entered the public sphere, The Terraces finally faces approval Monday night from the Lafayette City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Cameron Burks appealed the project after it was approved July 1 by the Lafayette Planning Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Lafayette City Councilmember Cameron Burks\"]“I felt that this particular project was such profound importance to the city that really the community deserved to have their elected officials make the final decision.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burks, who recently announced his reelection campaign, said he brought it to the City Council so the body could put itself on record about The Terraces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt that this particular project was such profound importance to the city that really the community deserved to have their elected officials make the final decision,” Burks said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Terraces has drawn rebuke from some neighbors, particularly a group called \u003ca href=\"http://savelafayette.org\">Save Lafayette\u003c/a>, who publicly say the dense housing project will clog local roads with traffic congestion, ruin the city’s “semi-rural” character and is out of touch with Lafayette writ-large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The town is home to roughly 26,000 people, according to the Census Bureau, and is often touted as an idyllic refuge for people who don’t wish to live the urban life of nearby Oakland or San Francisco, which are only a BART ride away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the project has its detractors, neighbors have come to its defense in recent years, as well. Inclusive Lafayette’s co-founder, Jeremy Levine, said his group’s more than 450 members believe The Terraces project won’t add to the city’s traffic congestion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, because the project is less than a mile from BART, Levine says that many living in The Terraces won’t need a car at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11832820\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11832820\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/20190327091526171_Page_1-e1597087659178-800x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/20190327091526171_Page_1-e1597087659178-800x498.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/20190327091526171_Page_1-e1597087659178-1020x634.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/20190327091526171_Page_1-e1597087659178-160x100.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/20190327091526171_Page_1-e1597087659178.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A project rendering of The Terraces, a proposed 315-unit apartment development project in Lafayette. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Terraces of Lafayette)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Compared to almost anywhere else in Lafayette, it’s almost as close as you can get for walkability purposes,” Levine said. “The rest of the community is built on winding roads, squeezed into the hills.

Save Lafayette then sued the city, which led to a June 2018 ballot measure. That was defeated by Lafayette voters, leading to the return of The Terraces and the proposal for over 300 apartments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, the turmoil over the project also led to the high-profile resignation of former Lafayette City Manager Steven Falk.

Now, a 315-unit apartment development in Lafayette that became a statewide rallying cry for the Yes In My Back Yard movement will spin its wheels a little longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote to approve The Terraces development was delayed by the Lafayette City Council after a seven-hour marathon meeting that stretched from Monday night into early Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lafayette City Council said they needed more time to fully discuss concerns aired by neighbors, many of whom claimed the proposed apartments would bring crippling traffic congestion, increase the risk of wildfire, and imperil the movement of emergency vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jeremy Levine, a Lafayette resident and co-founder of the group Inclusive Lafayette, said those concerns have been proven untrue by Lafayette city staff, and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Lafayette City Council pushed their decision down the road, public commenters and city staff warned Lafayette would be open to lawsuit under the Housing Accountability Act – and $15 million in possible fines – should they fail to approve the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victoria Fierce of housing advocacy group California Renters Legal Advocacy and Education Fund, or CaRLA said, “Lafayette may no longer choose between housing or no housing.

Save Lafayette then sued the city, which led to a June 2018 ballot measure. That was defeated by Lafayette voters, leading to the return of The Terraces and the proposal for over 300 apartments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, the turmoil over the project also led to the high-profile resignation of former Lafayette City Manager Steven Falk.

The couple and other tenants in their 39-unit building say they plan to try to negotiate rent forgiveness with their landlord, San Francisco-based Mosser Companies.

But if they didn’t, borrowing has become more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you were, say, saying, ‘Oh, I need to pull out cash to shore up my cash flow for the next six months,’ it’d be a very difficult thing to do right now,” he said. That’s because it is “really hard to refinance in this market,” Quinn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason banks would be reluctant to refinance is that borrowers might not have a reliable flow of rent payments because so many tenants have lost income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Quinn said that the vast majority of tenants have kept up with rent payments so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rent payments, rent collections have been pretty good until July,” Quinn said. “We saw roughly over 95% of all renters paying their rent” nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Quinn added, who is vulnerable depends on when you bought your properties. Those with older properties are less likely to be cash-strapped, whereas those with new developments may face a harder road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Housing Coverage' tag='affordable-housing']Starcity Properties CEO Jon Dishotsky said that the availability of capital, including cash to meet payroll, has changed dramatically since the pandemic began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Out of a hundred people I normally talk to for capital … 30 write a term sheet in a normal environment, and I get down to three or five (funders) at the end of the day,” he said. “Now, out of a hundred people, five pick up the phone. And one writes a term sheet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company, which builds “co-living” apartment units meant to appeal to younger tenants, took out a $1.2 million PPP loan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That amount pales in comparison to the hundreds of millions it needs to build its projects, but Dishotsky says it’s helped the company get through the past few months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our corporate entity certainly could have run into a lot of trouble” without the PPP loan, which he said was used to hire back about six furloughed staffers out of a total of roughly 50. According to Small Business Administration data, Starcity said it retained 42 jobs with its loan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While his company may be able to raise some capital, Dishotsky said, PPP loans had another favorable feature: speed. Investments may take time to raise, but the PPP loan let them pay employees right away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Todd David, director of the San Francisco Housing Action Coalition, said “it makes sense to me” why property management firms and housing developers would need PPP loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a huge dislocation in the lending market,” David said. “Projects they were counting on to bring in revenue got delayed and may have been delayed indefinitely, and they still have expenses to pay with employees.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And to complaints that firms like Veritas with its massive property portfolio don’t need government help, David said “just because they manage assets of $3 billion doesn’t mean those assets are on their balance sheet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Who Deserves a PPP Loan?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Should big Bay Area property owners and developers have benefited from PPP loans? Debbie Nunez, a San Francisco native and Lowell High School graduate doesn’t think so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the last three decades she’s lived in a Sutter Street apartment building that Veritas bought about five years ago. She hasn’t had a particularly happy relationship with her new landlord, which launched what she’s certain was unnecessary construction inside her building. She filed an administrative appeal with the city to stop the construction, which Veritas critics say the company has used as a tactic to oust tenants from rent-controlled units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With more than a dozen Veritas tenant activists, Nunez trooped to the Russian Hill home of Veritas CEO Yat-Pang Au one Sunday last month to read a letter demanding that the company distribute at least some of its $3.6 million PPP loan to small businesses that are struggling through the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Veritas does not qualify as a small business in need,” Nunez said.

Notably, on Thursday, San Francisco’s largest landlord – Veritas – offered 50% rent forgiveness for tenants between April and July, if they enter a repayment plan for the remaining rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Quinn noted, “others have not” offered rent relief, and what little has been offered has been extremely limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Brianne Hodson\"]‘Every month we have this terrified waiting period of seeing whether the City Council and the Board of Supervisors will extend the [eviction] protections that are in place.’[/pullquote]Oakland tenants Ryan Furtkamp and Brianne Hodson say that their PPP recipient landlord, Mosser Companies, has offered some help — but not nearly enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furtkamp and Hodson have organized with fellow tenants with the help of housing advocacy group Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, or ACCE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, Mosser offered to give tenants up to six months to repay their back rent — an offer Furtkamp said is simply unaffordable for him and most of his neighbors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since then, total silence in terms of willingness to work with tenants who haven’t been able to pay rent.

Three of the four points in the offer are already the law,” Peskin said, including an eviction moratorium, not raising rents and not passing through costs of construction to tenants. He added that even if the 50% forgiveness is sizable, negotiating terms of rent repayment is vital to tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without negotiation, Peskin said, “Fundamentally, they dictate everything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tenants also called on Veritas to contribute $3.6 million to a small business relief fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that number sounds familiar, it’s the same amount Veritas received as a federal Paycheck Protection Program loan earlier this year.
