I get it is a tough rental market and you think helping property owners may help to house some homeless. Our tax dollars are better spent ACTUALLY building the housing not helping out these private property owners and investors. Landlord incentives and damage claims are for the benefit of property owners not our low income families.
1. a leasing bonus of $ 2,500 to a landlord willing to accept a tenant who was previously unhoused;
2. security deposit totaling 2 months’ rent ( Isn't there a new law that already limits this to one month' s rent come July 2024?);
3. payment of application and credit check fees up to $50;
4. a contingency fund totaling up to $ 5,000 per unit to cover any damage caused.
I think if you did the research and your staff had more knowledge, they'd know that paying landlords and property owners is actually NOT an allowed use of these dollars and isn't part of rapid re-housing and homeless services under state or federal programs. Look it up! I'm pretty sure what you' re considering tonight to use Successor Housing Agency funds isn' t right.
300, 000 to pay for these costs for the benefit of property owners. Not something I would be doing when we don' t have much money. Use it to actually make a difference and build housing and more shelters for the homeless.
