"Finally, we also supported the City of Eureka against a cynical effort to hamper climate-friendly housing projects that would benefit lower-income residents"

 

As California’s existential housing crisis only worsens, we all need to do our part to address it. Following the housing laws our state has put in place to safeguard renters, prospective and current homeowners, and the future of our communities is one fundamental, non-negotiable step forward.

As the People’s Attorney, I’m proud to enforce and uphold those laws.

This week, my office released five consumer alerts to advise tenants of their rights and protections, and alert property managers and landlords of their obligations. Additionally, we advised cities and counties of recently enacted state law that helps ensure equal access to housing without discrimination. Finally, we also supported the City of Eureka against a cynical effort to hamper climate-friendly housing projects that would benefit lower-income residents. We should be looking for any opportunity to forge new paths to tackling this crisis, not building barriers to good solutions.

In solidarity,

Rob
