Faith Leaders Support Alameda Tenants

The fight for fair housing in Alameda City is heating up as the November 8th general election approaches. Faith leaders from the community demonstrated their support for tenants by releasing a statement of support, endorsed by a multi-denominational group of faith leaders from across Alameda City. The statement was released in front of the Bayview Apartments on 470 Central Ave. This apartment complex has been hard hit by the housing crisis as many tenants have been served several no cause evictions by their landlord. Leaders from the apartment tenants spoke about the impact of this kind of insecurity in their lives and the lives of their families.

The solution proposed by the Bayview tenants, the Alameda Renters Coalition and other community leaders is Measure M1 which ends no cause evictions and applies a reasonable and sustainable rate for rent increases in Alameda.
