Webinar Description

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted economic opportunity and the ability for California residents (many of whom were already burdened) to afford housing costs. While the pandemic has created a number of challenges, local governments have formed partnerships and explored unique strategies to help their residents stay housed. This webinar shared programs and tactics local governments have put in place including rental assistance, tenant protection and anti-displacement practices.
