From our friends in Sacramento, CA!

Did you know we have five families standing ground refusing to leave!! they have gained tenancy rights!! nobody should be forced to be evicted into greater danger!! we need everybody to stand by them and the hundreds of other families we are working with currently regarding the displacement from the City motel projects!!

Hope to see you at the speak out tomorrow!

🚨 People being removed from shelter without meaningful due process, notice, or an opportunity to challenge decisions, creating serious concerns regarding violations of state, federal, and local protections.

🚨 Residents and families have rights under the law to meaningful due process before losing shelter, including written notice of the reason for removal, a meaningful opportunity to respond, and an appeal process reviewed by a neutral decision-maker, not solely by the City, Step Up on Second, or motel operators involved in the decision. Residents contend that removal decisions have been made without these protections. Residents further contend that individuals should not be removed from shelter for minor or disputed allegations, but that any termination of shelter placement should involve clear standards, evidence, and a fair process, with removal reserved for serious circumstances involving legitimate safety concerns.

🚨 Some families have established tenancy rights under California law based on the length and nature of their occupancy. Sacramento Homeless Union members and impacted residents contend that the City of Sacramento, Step Up on Second, and participating motel operators are violating California tenant protections by removing residents without proper notice, due process, and legal protections. A shelter program cannot use program status to eliminate tenant rights or create a separate class of people with fewer protections.

The “21st Century ROAD to Housing Act” became law on July 11. This is the first big housing law that both major parties have agreed on since the 1990s. is celebrates this bill's passage and thanks everyone who worked hard to make it happen.

We created a new guide to help renters and advocates understand what the new law means. Even though the law has passed, there are still chances to speak up about how it will be put into action. People can share their ideas during the rulemaking process, which decides how the programs will work.
