Housing, Residential Rent and Relocation Board: Appointed Interests & Experiences
Please tell us how your qualifications and participation will relate to the requested board and/or commission's mission.
As a resident born and raised in Oakland, I have seen the changes that have transformed the Town I know and love. I am a teacher in East Oakland and I see firsthand how housing instability can impact a student's educational progress. I have seen families with multi-generational roots in Oakland destabilized in a matter of weeks due to housing issues. No child's academics should suffer due to the lack of quality, affordable housing. As a landlord, I know that I am blessed to be in a position to provide housing, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I am proud to provide housing to voucher holders, single parents and long-time residents of Oakland. As a small landlord, I know many small landlords that want to continue to provide quality housing to their tenants. I also know that small landlords and tenants both need support to continue to live and thrive here in Oakland. Thank You, Chris Jackson Please submit your resume or curriculum vitae.

Growing up in Oakland, section 8 housing and making the transition into Ownership has allowed Me to gain the perspective of both sides. I feel I have a understanding of the struggles that comes with being a tenant and a property owner. So when it comes down to having an insight on matters such housing in Oakland, I think it best helps to have the perspective of a person who has had experience in the where decisions are being made.

Please tell us how your qualifications and participation will relate to the requested board and/or commission's mission.
Thank you for reviewing my application to serve as an alternante rent board member. My experiences over the last eight years makes me a great addition to the board. I am very active and passionate about community work. The community organizations I work with are ACCE, (ADOS) American Decendants of Slavery, and most recently (CBE) Communities for a Better Environment. In 2016 I became a member of (ACCE) Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment to help underserved renters negotiate with their landlords. I became a member after receiving help with my landlord wanting to raise my rent by $350.
Thanks to ACCE organizers and members I was able to get my landlord to agree to a $50 increase which helped me stay in my home. After that I became a very active member to help others in similar situations.
Since then I have become a leading member and have helped with 2 other chapters. Just this month I was nominated and elected to the ACCE state board. I really do want to make a positive impact in the lives of Oakland renters and I believe serving on the Oakland Rent Board is a great opportunity. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Please tell us how your qualifications and participation will relate to the requested board and/or commission's mission.
As an Oakland resident, I feel it is extremely important to have representation on the Oakland commissions and boards that reflect the communities these bodies seek to serve. My advocacy spans a range of issues including mental health education/awareness, police reform, voting rights, income equality and self-sufficiency programs, food and housing security, LGBTQ rights, healthcare reform, improving Bay Area transit, and even women’s rights; particularly defending a woman’s right to choose abortion. As a Black, openly bisexual Man living with a mental disorder in this country, I have first-hand experience with many of these issues. My completion of a BA and MA in the field of psychology, coupled with my professional experience gained from various social service roles further supplement said first-hand experience. I have absolutely no doubt that I would be a valued asset to the commissions for which I am seeking appointment, as well as to the goals that Mayor Schaaf has for the City of Oakland.
