The county is offering support to people with addictions to alcohol or opiates, as well as providing over-the-counter medications for coughs or pain relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vivian Wan, the chief operating officer for Abode Services, said her team had to vet 220 applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had an HR machine behind the scenes not only finding folks, but training them quickly,” Wan said, “making sure they really understand trauma-informed care, understand what we’re doing, understand all the precautions we need to take.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone wants to go into the hotel rooms though, Lifelong’s Jason Reinking said. Some of the people his street medicine team have tried to place were concerned about losing their belongings because they could only take a bag’s worth with them into the hotel room. Abbott said they do have limited storage available for the belongings residents can’t bring into their room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the medically vulnerable residents, Abode will be working to figure out long-term housing placements for people staying at the hotels, Clanon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom said the more recent state-negotiated leases all include a right of first refusal to purchase the hotels when the state no longer needs them to respond to the coronavirus outbreak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not just thinking short-term,” Newsom said. “We’re also beginning to … focus our energy around long-term support to get people off the streets in a permanent way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: This post has been updated to reflect more recent information related to the number of people being housed. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Instead of suffering silently, however, some Bay Area tenants are launching a campaign to withhold rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of at least 20 calling themselves rent strikers are issuing Gov. Gavin Newsom their own 30-day notice to cancel all rent and mortgage payments during the current public health crisis. If he fails to act, renters across the state are planning to withhold rent payments beginning on May 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today we are giving the governor notice,” said Terra Thomas, a florist in Oakland who is now without work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the beginning of the year, Thomas was fully booked with floral work until December, but now all of her events have been canceled through June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have essentially lost my job because of the COVID-19 crisis. … This is a matter of survival. Either we eat or we pay rent,” Thomas said. “No one should have to choose between food and housing. … I’m striking for my neighbors, and I’m striking for our community, and I’m striking because I can’t pay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"small\" align=\"right\" citation=\"— Carroll Fife, director of ACCE\"]“It’s really a signal to other people that they’re not alone.

It’s a symbol of resistance.” ACCE is working with a coalition of people and organizations to “shift this whole housing paradigm,” Fife added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"More Coronavirus Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ricky Zepeda, 44, lives in Richmond with his spouse and adult children. Most of his family members have been laid off or had their hours reduced. He said he will most likely strike on May 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before it wasn’t a struggle, but now it is either spend the money you do have saved up on rent or keep saving it and see how long it will last. Now it is survival mode,” Zepeda said. “If there’s no money coming in, how are you gonna do it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unemployment insurance claims soared in March and during the week ending March 21. A total of \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/coronavirus/article241528921.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">187,000 people in California filed for unemployment\u003c/a> according to the U.S. Department of Labor, and some expect \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/robert-reich-unemployment-during-public-health-crisis-2020-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unemployment during the coronavirus pandemic to be higher than during the Great Depression\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we look at 2008 and how much money the banks got bailed out, like entire industries were built out while people languished,” Fife said. “We’re saying no, we’re not going to let that happen again, we will stop this entire economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s up to the people to decide what kind of society that we want to live in. … The people that are reaching out to us want something drastically and dramatically different,” Fife added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fife said ACCE has been using rent strikes as a tactic for a long time – most recently to exert pressure on the landlord of a building on 29th Avenue in Oakland. After months of striking, the landlord agreed to negotiate a sale price with the Oakland Community Land Trust, an organization that acquires and maintains affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fife hopes the current rent strike can further the movement for housing as a human right that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11793299/moms-4-housing-in-oakland-vow-to-fight-potential-eviction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Moms 4 Housing\u003c/a> recently helped energize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said many of the people she’s talked to have limited options.

Now it is survival mode,” Zepeda said. “If there’s no money coming in, how are you gonna do it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unemployment insurance claims soared in March and during the week ending March 21.

Gavin Newsom on Friday. Newsom’s move came after advocacy organizations and some state lawmakers made repeated calls to the governor to provide protection to renters while residents are being told to shelter in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s moratorium, which goes into effect immediately, ostensibly bans the enforcement of eviction orders through May 31 and prohibits landlords from evicting tenants if they’re unable to pay rent because they’ve contracted COVID-19, are caring for someone who has, have lost wages due to the statewide shelter-in-place order or have had to miss work to care for a child who is no longer in school or daycare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenants rights groups and some lawmakers, however, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809328/newsoms-eviction-moratorium-useless-misleading-tenants-groups-say\">were quick to sharply criticize Newsom’s moratorium, calling it misleading\u003c/a>. They said although it’s being billed as a moratorium on evictions, the order only delays a tenant’s legal window for responding to an eviction filing in court, and that it doesn’t stop new evictions from being filed. Evictions unrelated to COVID-19, such as owner-move-in under the Ellis Act or for any breach of the lease unrelated to rent payments, would still be allowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s order won’t preempt any measures from cities or counties that offer more protection than the statewide order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some answers to common questions about renters and tenants protections in the Bay Area:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What do the eviction moratoriums do?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A number of \u003ca href=\"https://antievictionmappingproject.github.io/covid-19-map/\">cities and counties across the Bay Area, as well as states nationwide\u003c/a>, have passed their own restrictions on evictions. Some go further than others in terms of tenant protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, landlords are barred from removing tenants who can’t make rent this month because of reduced income or job loss due to COVID-19. Some examples of that are layoffs due to the shelter-in-place order or from being quarantined, sick or having to pay for medical expenses. The city’s eviction moratorium is in place for 30 days, and renters have an additional month to pay back rent or apply for an extension. Mayor London Breed also has the authority to extend the order, if necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara, a temporary moratorium covers residential and small business tenants within the county limits. The order, which was approved on Tuesday, lasts until May 31 and gives tenants an additional 120 days to pay back rent, if they have lost income related to the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland City Council is holding a special meeting Friday to consider a proposed emergency ordinance that would ban evictions against tenants for any reason, also known as just-cause evictions, until May 31. An exception is if a tenant poses an imminent threat to the health or safety of others on the property. In addition, the proposed moratorium would ban rent increases, late payment fees and evictions for residential and commercial tenants due to coronavirus-related job loss or income reduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]Evictions already filed in San Francisco and Alameda counties will also be on hold, for now. Both counties’ superior courts and sheriff’s offices say ongoing evictions won’t be enforced during the shelter-in-place order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because local governments have the authority to introduce their own moratorium on evictions, the rules vary depending on where you live. Please visit the website for the city or county that you live in for more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Do I have to pay rent on April 1?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Yes, rent is still due, if you can afford to pay it. City and county officials are urging those who are still healthy and employed to continue their monthly rent payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Temporary eviction bans do not mean rent payments have been waived, and once the public health crisis is over, renters will be expected to pay back rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you cannot make rent on April 1 due to coronavirus-related circumstances, like a reduction in hours or loss of employment, you must declare in writing the reason you cannot pay – and provide documentation – no more than seven days after rent is due.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How do I prove I lost income during COVID-19?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Both the new statewide eviction enforcement moratorium and most of the local moratoriums passed in the Bay Area only apply to tenants who have been financially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, which means it’s up to the renter to demonstrate proof of lost income. That could be a recent pay stub that shows a loss of hours. It could also be a letter or a text from your employer, showing the business has closed or an application for unemployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gig workers could show a loss in Lyft rides or Postmates deliveries. With many districts closing schools, according to some of the ordinances, tenants could prove their inability to pay rent because they had to stay home from work to care for their children or increased expenses for child care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, tenants need to submit documentation within one week of informing their landlord they won’t be making April rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What do I do if I receive an eviction notice during the COVID-19 pandemic?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Tenants who need help with fighting an eviction should immediately contact a local legal aid office. In addition to the statewide eviction enforcement moratorium, most of the local COVID-19 tenant protections vary in strength and depend on where you live. For example, the California moratorium as well as moratoriums in Santa Clara County and San Francisco only protect tenants facing nonpayment and no-fault evictions because of the coronavirus crisis. Landlords can still file an eviction against you, also known as an unlawful detainer, for other reasons like causing a nuisance or damaging property, or if it’s a matter involving violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you do receive an eviction of any kind, tenant advocacy agencies say they are still open and operating in the Bay Area, although most have transitioned their clinics to remote work. They can still be reached by email, phone or on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What tenant resources are there, and where can I go to get help with an eviction?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>San Francisco:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Eviction Defense Collaborative, (415) 947-0797\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco, (415) 703-8644\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Francisco Tenants Union, (415) 282-6622\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Chinatown Community Development Center, (415) 984-2728\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Alameda County:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>East Bay Community Law Center: (510) 548-4040, ext. 629\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eviction Defense Center: (510) 452 4541\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Centro Legal de la Raza: (510) 437-1554\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bay Area Legal Aid: (888) 382-3405\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Law Foundation of Silicon Valley (408) 280-2424\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sacred Heart Community Services, (408) 278-2166\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>San Mateo:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Legal Aid of San Mateo, (650) 558-0915\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>For more tenant assistance, the statewide advocacy nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.tenantstogether.org/resource-directory\">Tenants Together has a list of other available resources\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED staff writer Erin Baldassari contributed to this story.

That could be a recent pay stub that shows a loss of hours. It could also be a letter or a text from your employer, showing the business has closed or an application for unemployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gig workers could show a loss in Lyft rides or Postmates deliveries. With many districts closing schools, according to some of the ordinances, tenants could prove their inability to pay rent because they had to stay home from work to care for their children or increased expenses for child care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, tenants need to submit documentation within one week of informing their landlord they won’t be making April rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What do I do if I receive an eviction notice during the COVID-19 pandemic?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Tenants who need help with fighting an eviction should immediately contact a local legal aid office. In addition to the statewide eviction enforcement moratorium, most of the local COVID-19 tenant protections vary in strength and depend on where you live. For example, the California moratorium as well as moratoriums in Santa Clara County and San Francisco only protect tenants facing nonpayment and no-fault evictions because of the coronavirus crisis. Landlords can still file an eviction against you, also known as an unlawful detainer, for other reasons like causing a nuisance or damaging property, or if it’s a matter involving violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you do receive an eviction of any kind, tenant advocacy agencies say they are still open and operating in the Bay Area, although most have transitioned their clinics to remote work. They can still be reached by email, phone or on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What tenant resources are there, and where can I go to get help with an eviction?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>San Francisco:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Eviction Defense Collaborative, (415) 947-0797\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco, (415) 703-8644\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Francisco Tenants Union, (415) 282-6622\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Chinatown Community Development Center, (415) 984-2728\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Alameda County:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>East Bay Community Law Center: (510) 548-4040, ext. 629\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eviction Defense Center: (510) 452 4541\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Centro Legal de la Raza: (510) 437-1554\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bay Area Legal Aid: (888) 382-3405\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Law Foundation of Silicon Valley (408) 280-2424\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sacred Heart Community Services, (408) 278-2166\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>San Mateo:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Legal Aid of San Mateo, (650) 558-0915\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>For more tenant assistance, the statewide advocacy nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.tenantstogether.org/resource-directory\">Tenants Together has a list of other available resources\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED staff writer Erin Baldassari contributed to this story.

"content": "\u003cp>Voters across the Bay Area will weigh in Tuesday on a spate of housing-related measures, including local tax increases to pay for homeless services and affordable housing construction, as well as proposals to slow office development and cap rent increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each year, as the region’s severe housing shortage and affordability crisis continues, cities and counties turn to the ballot to address the issue. Here is a roundup of Bay Area measures related to housing costs and construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Jose: \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/appointees/city-clerk/elections/2020-elections/measure-e\">Measure E\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In an effort to create ongoing funding for affordable housing production, the measure would establish a permanent tax on the sale or transfer of commercial and residential property in the city valued over $2 million, starting at a rate of 0.75%. For properties worth more than $5 million, the rate would increase to 1%, and up to 1.5% for properties worth more than $10 million. For example, if a home sold for $3 million, the tax owed would be $22,500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure includes exemptions for properties sold or transferred through inheritance, gifts or divorce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If passed by a majority of voters, it would raise an estimated average of $50 million a year that would be used to build affordable housing for extremely low- to moderate-income residents and help steer homeless residents into shelters or permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Oakland: \u003ca href=\"https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/yesforoakland/pages/1/attachments/original/1578603224/Measure_Q_Resolution.pdf?1578603224\">Measure Q\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The measure would establish an annual parcel tax — $148 on single-family residences and about $101 per unit on multi-family buildings — to pay for maintenance of Oakland’s roughly 130 parks and recreation facilities. Estimated to raise $21 million annually, the tax would expire after 20 years. Seniors and low-income residents would be exempt, and those in foreclosed single-family homes would be eligible for a rebate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the brunt of funds would be spent on park maintenance, 30% would go to homeless services and a small portion to stormwater system improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure requires the support of two-thirds of the city’s voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Francisco: \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfelections.org/archive/2020march/M20_6-Title_and_summary.pdf\">Proposition E\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11803384\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]In an ongoing struggle to balance housing needs with job creation, Proposition E would set the city’s low- to moderate-income housing target at 2,042 new units each year. If that goal isn’t met, construction permits for new office space would be limited by the same percentage the city failed to meet its housing goal. The measure was introduced by a progressive affordable housing developer. Opponents argue Proposition E, which needs a majority vote to pass, would stall economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Mountain View: \u003ca href=\"https://www.mountainview.gov/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=31742\">Measure D\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11802971\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]Mountain View’s long-standing debate over rent control returns to the ballot next week. Currently, the city’s rents are not allowed to climb higher than the annual rate of inflation or the consumer price index, which usually hovers around 3.5%. If Measure D is approved by the majority of voters, rent increases would be capped at 4% each year.

For properties worth more than $5 million, the rate would increase to 1%, and up to 1.5% for properties worth more than $10 million. For example, if a home sold for $3 million, the tax owed would be $22,500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure includes exemptions for properties sold or transferred through inheritance, gifts or divorce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If passed by a majority of voters, it would raise an estimated average of $50 million a year that would be used to build affordable housing for extremely low- to moderate-income residents and help steer homeless residents into shelters or permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Oakland: \u003ca href=\"https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/yesforoakland/pages/1/attachments/original/1578603224/Measure_Q_Resolution.pdf?1578603224\">Measure Q\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The measure would establish an annual parcel tax — $148 on single-family residences and about $101 per unit on multi-family buildings — to pay for maintenance of Oakland’s roughly 130 parks and recreation facilities. Estimated to raise $21 million annually, the tax would expire after 20 years.

Sabah Munawar moved to Mountain View about three years ago when her husband got a job at Nokia. They landed in a cozy, sunlit one bedroom apartment downtown they pay about $3,100 each month for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munawar’s apartment is across from City Hall, downtown and the public library, which was a big selling point for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of my apartments or my parents’ house has been walking distance from the library. That’s how it’s supposed to be,” Munawar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munawar has been politically active since high school, but for the first time, she’s been knocking on doors campaigning against Measure D. The rent cap isn’t her main concern — she is more nervous about another part of the measure which allows landlords to pass along the cost of improving a unit up to a 10% hike on the annual rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would be displaced,” Munawar said. “We’d have to actually think about either moving or looking for other jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite\u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/Eg2VCn5zDjCGyrwzh9UTXd?domain=jointventure.org\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> historically high rents\u003c/a> in Silicon Valley, many landlords have dragged their feet upgrading the properties they own. For example, hundreds of soft-story apartment buildings remain \u003ca href=\"https://www.mountainview.gov/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=15284\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">seismically unfit\u003c/a> to withstand an earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve heard from tenants who want upgrades who have been told ‘no’ because property owners don’t have a guarantee of cost recovery,” Mayor Abe-Koga said. She believes this provision in Measure D might encourage landlords to make these adjustments if they know they can pass along some of the cost to the renter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803169\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11803169\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41398_005_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3321-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41398_005_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3321-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41398_005_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3321-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41398_005_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3321-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41398_005_KQED_Housing_MountainView_02192020_3321-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Measure D would exclude mobile home renters from the proposed rent cap. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Mobile Home Protections, or Lack Thereof\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Then there’s one group that is caught in the middle of this battle: mobile home renters. Right now, rent hikes for mobile homes aren’t covered under rent control and remain unregulated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bee Hanson moved to Santiago Villa, a large mobile home community near Google’s campus, more than 20 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"affordable-housing\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people in this park are seniors or disabled people that came in years and years ago in the ’60s when it was just a really low-cost place to live,” Hanson said. “And they’re kind of stuck now because they’re on fixed incomes and once they get a raise on rent, Social Security is not keeping up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure D specifically excludes mobile home renters from the rent cap. Abe-Koga plans to create a separate ordinance that would regulate rent hikes on mobile homes, but Alex Brown, another renter in Santiago Villa, is nervous that the eventual ordinance will offer weak protections against mobile home park owners. Brown wants mobile home parks to be included in the rent cap Measure D provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would close off an opportunity to get the protections offered to apartment residents in units built before 1995 in all of Mountain View,” Brown said. “And that’s tough because we have no other protections that are guaranteed or that look likely yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Campaign Spending: A David vs. Goliath Fight\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The optics on who supports Measure D versus who doesn’t might look skewed as many local tenants rights groups have come out against the measure, compared to the California Apartment Association (CAA) and other landlord-backed organizations that support it. The CAA has raised \u003ca href=\"https://public.netfile.com/pub2/RequestPDF.aspx?id=187077226\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$193,000\u003c/a> since the start of the year to back to “Yes On Measure D” campaign, while the opposition had been largely funded by Mountain View residents, totaling about $7,500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was until \u003ca href=\"https://mv-voice.com/news/2020/02/20/mobile-home-park-owner-raises-94k-to-fight-measure-d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Feb.\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://mv-voice.com/news/2020/02/20/mobile-home-park-owner-raises-94k-to-fight-measure-d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 20\u003c/a> when the “No on Measure D” campaign got a $94,000 contribution. John Vidovich, owner of Santiago Villa, where Bee Hanson and Alex Brown live, is listed as a partner in VG Investments and VO Limited Partners, the two companies from which the contribution came.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex Brown is still suspicious of the mobile home park owner, despite the contribution. He has many theories but believes that, if Measure D passes and the city council creates a separate ordinance regulating mobile home rents, Vidovich and other mobile home park owners won’t be able to charge whatever they want in rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Sabah Munawar moved to Mountain View about three years ago when her husband got a job at Nokia. They landed in a cozy, sunlit one bedroom apartment downtown they pay about $3,100 each month for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munawar’s apartment is across from City Hall, downtown and the public library, which was a big selling point for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of my apartments or my parents’ house has been walking distance from the library. That’s how it’s supposed to be,” Munawar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munawar has been politically active since high school, but for the first time, she’s been knocking on doors campaigning against Measure D. The rent cap isn’t her main concern — she is more nervous about another part of the measure which allows landlords to pass along the cost of improving a unit up to a 10% hike on the annual rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would be displaced,” Munawar said. “We’d have to actually think about either moving or looking for other jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite\u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/Eg2VCn5zDjCGyrwzh9UTXd?domain=jointventure.org\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> historically high rents\u003c/a> in Silicon Valley, many landlords have dragged their feet upgrading the properties they own. For example, hundreds of soft-story apartment buildings remain \u003ca href=\"https://www.mountainview.gov/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=15284\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">seismically unfit\u003c/a> to withstand an earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve heard from tenants who want upgrades who have been told ‘no’ because property owners don’t have a guarantee of cost recovery,” Mayor Abe-Koga said.

About 42% of those surveyed said they see many tents and encampments in the public places and streets where they live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his address, Newsom called for new and ongoing revenue sources to pay for homeless services and new housing. He warned that cities and counties would be held accountable to ensure they spend state health care dollars on homeless people suffering from mental illnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social services advocate Jennifer Friedenbach with the San Francisco Coalition on Homelessness said she’s thrilled Newsom is taking the issue seriously, but that the state must focus deeply on investment or else these will only be temporary fixes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks with severe mental health issues that are out on the streets are victims of a system,” she said. “They feel that the system is resistant to helping them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a San Francisco supervisor in 2002, Newsom drew national attention with his “Care Not Cash” ballot initiative that diverted public assistance from homeless residents to pay landlords for shelter, instead. The program rankled advocates and challenged the city’s status as a progressive stronghold. It also helped get him elected mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seventeen years later, Newsom has again made homelessness one of his top priorities as the number of people experiencing homelessness in California \u003ca href=\"https://files.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/2019-AHAR-Part-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grew to more than 151,000\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some people who followed Newsom’s early career are optimistic about his willingness to attach his name to such a thorny issue — going so far as to say he’ll “own homelessness” in California, a state with more than a quarter of the nation’s unhoused people — others aren’t sure he’ll focus on the kind of solutions needed to right this societal wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Care Not Cash\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When Care Not Cash went to the ballot in 2002, homelessness had reached peak levels.

Gavin Newsom made homelessness the focus of his State of the State address Wednesday, reflecting not only \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/press-release/sanders-biden-and-warren-lead-in-californias-primary/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Californians’ top concern\u003c/a> but also nearly 20 years of wrangling on an issue that’s followed him from San Francisco City Hall to the Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No amount of progress can camouflage the most pernicious crisis in our midst,” Newsom said, “the ultimate manifestation of poverty: homelessness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://priceschool.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Press-Release-USC-Price-USC-Schwarzenegger-Institute-Homelessness-Poll.pdf\">recent statewide poll\u003c/a> showed homelessness and housing are top of mind for likely California voters ahead of the state’s March 3 primary election. About 42% of those surveyed said they see many tents and encampments in the public places and streets where they live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his address, Newsom called for new and ongoing revenue sources to pay for homeless services and new housing. He warned that cities and counties would be held accountable to ensure they spend state health care dollars on homeless people suffering from mental illnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social services advocate Jennifer Friedenbach with the San Francisco Coalition on Homelessness said she’s thrilled Newsom is taking the issue seriously, but that the state must focus deeply on investment or else these will only be temporary fixes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks with severe mental health issues that are out on the streets are victims of a system,” she said. “They feel that the system is resistant to helping them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a San Francisco supervisor in 2002, Newsom drew national attention with his “Care Not Cash” ballot initiative that diverted public assistance from homeless residents to pay landlords for shelter, instead. The program rankled advocates and challenged the city’s status as a progressive stronghold. It also helped get him elected mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seventeen years later, Newsom has again made homelessness one of his top priorities as the number of people experiencing homelessness in California \u003ca href=\"https://files.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/2019-AHAR-Part-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grew to more than 151,000\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some people who followed Newsom’s early career are optimistic about his willingness to attach his name to such a thorny issue — going so far as to say he’ll “own homelessness” in California, a state with more than a quarter of the nation’s unhoused people — others aren’t sure he’ll focus on the kind of solutions needed to right this societal wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

By 2014, San Francisco built 2,669 of the units that Newsom pledged as mayor but homelessness still rose — climbing to 6,775 people by 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it continues to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decade after Newsom left the mayor’s office, homelessness is a bigger issue than ever, with solutions seeming more out of reach than ever before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He kicked off the year with a proposal to direct \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/08/794687084/california-governor-pushes-1-4-billion-plan-to-tackle-homelessness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$1.4 billion of the state budget\u003c/a> to pay for rent subsidies, board and care homes, health services and affordable housing, and then went on a statewide tour of emergency shelters and mental health care centers. And he started distributing the first two dozen of 100 former \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11796428/newsom-to-unveil-travel-trailers-for-homeless-in-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FEMA trailers and tents\u003c/a> to provide immediate housing for people experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Newsom said the state would make available 286 state-owed properties such as vacant lots, fairgrounds, armories and other state buildings for potential shelter options that local governments can use for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To speed up construction of affordable housing and shelters, Newsom said he would like to bypass state environmental reviews, which are sometimes used to block and delay projects. He also urged the Legislature to reform land use laws to eliminate delays on affordable housing projects around transit hubs and downtown areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I respect local control, but not at the cost of creating a two-class California,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friedenbach, a staunch critic of Newsom’s tenure in San Francisco, is hopeful.
