Housing Justice Initiatives
Housing Justice: Together with our allies, we pushed the City to respond to the doubling of families experiencing homelessness by adding these initiatives paid for by November 2018 Prop. C: 130 five-year rental subsidies for families. 35 five-year shallow subsidies for homeless working families. 115 emergency hotel rooms, families can use as shelter. 50 slots of five-year rapid rehousing for youth-headed families. Passing trailing legislation for these expenditures that requires the families in short-term subsidies to be informed that they can apply for extensions. We led a budget campaign that resulted in the following: Funding emergency rental assistance at $5 million . Adding $1 million for 27 permanent housing subsidies for homeless youth to use in the private rental market. Staving off the closure of a 24-hour pit stop bathroom. Staving off $400k in cuts to an earn-and-learn training for unhoused people. Saving the $5m for safe parking. We introduced legislation to ensure that families on short-term rental subsidies do not return to homelessness by extending their subsidies to five years.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$225.7KHuman Rights Organizing Efforts
Human Rights: Our organizers facilitated weekly meetings with families living in RVs along Winston Drive and, together, advocated for secure housing and a safe parking site, resulting in 14 families receiving housing. Our Human Rights Organizing team continued to monitor and publicize human rights abuses unhoused community members faced as the city increased sweeps in the aftermath of the Grants Pass Supreme Court Case. We successfully beat back $3 million in cuts to Behavioral Health services in Prop.

SRO Families United: We outreached and provided direct support to families living in single room occupancy hotels in the Tenderloin, and improved the conditions of those hotels. We were able to move most families living in SROs into permanent affordable housing, by changing policy to ensure families recieved a preference for housing and expanded the number of subsidies set aside for families living in SROs. We then worked to find housing and place those families in housing.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$121.9K
