“Shelter in place” is not just the operative phrase—it’s the best advice from medical experts and the order handed down by Governor Newsom. There’s just one problem—if our leaders don’t act fast, hundreds of thousands of Californians may have no shelter at all. With layoffs mounting and potentially thousands more on the horizon, it's more important than ever that we make sure people aren't getting hit with rent increases or evicted when having a home is so crucial.
Ask Governor Newsom to protect all homes with a moratorium that protects Californians from rent increases, evictions, and encampment sweeps. Families also need support through rental assistance and permanently affordable homes that ensure all Californians can safely shelter in place.
