Impact analysis
Residents report losing hundreds of dollars a month to rent hikes and disputed utility charges; the city spends little directly but has previously allocated CDBG funds for roof repairs.
Tenants would benefit from city advocacy, relocation help, or state-level reform; the Rosemead Tenants Union is organizing on their behalf.
Trailer park residents, many elderly and on fixed incomes, face eviction, displacement and unsafe living conditions.
