3 issues in general with medium priority
Rental Assistance
Even though California's big statewide rent relief program is closed, you can still get local rental help and eviction protections right here in Fresno County. It is a lifeline if you are struggling to make rent and worried about losing your home.
Rent Control
Mobile home park residents in Fresno are dusting off an old city rent control law to fight sudden, massive rent hikes from new owners. This rare push could end up setting a huge precedent for affordable housing all over the area.
Homelessness Advocacy
Local advocates who used to be homeless are stepping up to guide Fresno's unhoused community and push city leaders for better policies. They argue that nobody knows what unhoused people actually need better than the folks who've lived through it themselves.
