RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends That The City Council Adopt A Resolution (1) Authorizing The City Administrator To Enter Into A Professional Services Agreement With Centro Legal De La Raza For Provision Of Representation Services To Low- And Moderate-Income Tenants At Rent Adjustment Program Petition Proceedings For A One Year Term, From October 1, 2025 Through September 30, 2026, In The Amount Of $250,000, Renewable At The City Administrator’s Option For Up To Three Additional Years For a Total Contract Amount Not to Exceed $1,000,000; And (2) Waiving The Competitive RFP/Q And Small Local Business Enterprise Program Requirements
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed resolution would authorize the City Administrator to enter into a professional services agreement with Centro Legal De La Raza (CLR) to offer legal representation to low- and moderate-income (LMI) tenants in petition proceedings and Housing, Residential Rent and Relocation Board (HRRRB) proceedings (collectively, “RAP proceedings”) for an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 over a four-year period ($250,000 annually contingent on the City’s budget process) starting October 1, 2025. This is a professional services agreement for which there were no other local organizational respondents in the prior Request for Proposal (RFP) and for which CLR has provided a high level of service. CLR has already performed on this contract since October 2023. CLR’s representation services are critical to supporting equitable implementation of the Rent Adjustment Program (RAP).
Even though CLR is currently certified as a Not For Profit Local Business Enterprise by the City; staff is seeking waiver of the Small Local Business Enterprise requirements for this contract amendment.

BACKGROUND/LEGISLATIVE HISTORY.
The City of Oakland (City) has contracted with CLR for legal services to Oakland LMI tenants since 2013.1
Most recently, in June 2023, staff released an RFP for legal representation services for LMI tenants. The RFP covered a 12-month contract term for $250,000, with an option to renew for an additional year at the City’s discretion, not to exceed $250,000. Two responses were received—one from a solo practitioner and one from CLR—both of which met the RFP requirements.
Staff determined that CLR should be awarded the contract for the term of October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024, in the amount of $250,000.
On August 7, 2023, while the formal RFP process was underway, the City, under the City Administrator’s procurement authority, executed a short-term contract with CLR for an amount not to exceed $49,999. This contract was intended to cover the service gap between July 1, 2023, and September 30, 2023.
On September 19, 2023, the City Council authorized a contract with CLR in the amount of $250,000 for the period of October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024. The contract included an option to renew for one additional year, not to exceed $250,000.
On April 24, 2024, the City executed the contract with CLR for the initial term of October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024.
On October 28, 2024, the City Administrator exercised the renewal option and executed a contract amendment extending the agreement with CLR through September 30, 2025.
ANALYSIS AND POLICY ALTERNATIVES
Program Overview
The Rent Adjustment Program (RAP) is committed to providing efficient, effective, and equitable services to both tenants and property owners. RAP currently offers information and consultation services through telephone, email, virtually, in-person, and online workshops. For parties with pending petitions, RAP offers remote mediation prior to each hearing when a settlement conference is feasible. Additionally, RAP facilitates mediations, which allow tenants and property owners not yet involved in a petition to access mediation services.
The recommended Council action supports the City’s housing, economic, and cultural security priorities by continuing to expand equitable access to legal representation for LM tenants in RAP proceedings. The services provided under the proposed contract with CLR are based on RAP staff’s assessment of the ongoing challenges LMI tenants face, including:
• Limited knowledge of legal processes
• Language and technological barriers

Jestin D. Johnson, City Administrator
Subject: Contract for Tenant Representation at RAP Proceedings Date: September 29, 2025 Page 3
• Lack of financial resources
Many tenants cannot afford legal representation and are often forced to pursue or respond to RAP petitions on their own, even under difficult circumstances.
Waiver of the RFP/Q and SLBE Requirements
Waiving the RFP/Q and SLBE program requirements will secure the continuity of services offered by CLR, which is a certified local not for profit business but not a “small local” and has the capacity and experience and has successfully and continually partnered with the City to provide those services to low-income tenants since 2013. CLR is certified by the Department of Workplace and Employment Standards as a Local Business Enterprise.
Program Goals
The recommended action supports the following goals:
1. Ensure that more LMI tenants have access to legal representation in RAP proceedings;
2. Reduce the displacement of LMI families, particularly communities of color and immigrants in Oakland;
3. Empower LMI tenants to seek negotiated resolutions to their legal claims; and
4. Foster constructive relationships between property owners and tenants through access to legal services.
Evaluation of CLR Performance
Exhibit A to this report summarizes CLR’s performance under the current contract from October 1, 2023, through August 31, 2025. CLR collects and reports client data, including address, zip code, gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability status, legal issues, services provided, intake and service dates, and case outcomes. Monthly reports submitted to RAP track progress on deliverables and client demographics.
Key performance highlights include:
• 573 tenants assessed for RAP-related matters: more than three times the contract goal amount of 172.
• 40 tenants provided with extended legal representation in RAP petitions and Rent Board appeal proceedings: approximately 37% of the contract goal amount of 108. • Between October 1, 2023 and June 30, 2025, of the 31 clients: 23 were women and 8 were men and 27 were extremely low-income and 4 were low-income tenants • Out of the 415 assessed cases in 2023-24, 216 were Latino tenants, 111 were Black tenants, and 29 were White tenants.
• Out of the 304 assessed cases in 2023-24, 174 were Latino, 81 were Black residents, and 25 were White residents.
RAP staff reviewed the difference between expected and actual outcomes and determined that CLR has fulfilled its contractual obligations. First, CLR has significantly overperformed on the goal of assessing tenants for eligibility; such assessments provide tenants with feedback and guidance and referrals as appropriate and are a critical first line of support for tenants seeking information about their tenancy concerns. Second, CLR is finding that the tenants receiving extended legal representation have needs for legal support beyond direct representation in RAP and HRRRB proceedings which makes these case take longer and consume more CLR staff hours than expected. For example, CLR may also provide:
• Drafting demand letters to housing providers
Jestin D. Johnson, City Administrator
Subject: Contract for Tenant Representation at RAP Proceedings Date: September 29, 2025 Page 4
• Counseling tenants on their rights
• Negotiating with landlords
• Translating documents to ensure tenant understanding
• Securing interpretation services for RAP hearings
Finally, a significant number of extended legal representation cases on which work has been done are still in progress. As of the end of August 2025, CLR had 16 ongoing cases.
CLR has also invested in staff development, training paralegals and legal fellows to lead RAP cases, thereby expanding their capacity to serve more tenants.
Case Examples
• Ms. P. faced a capital improvement rent increase that would have rendered her unit unaffordable. CLR successfully negotiated with the property owner to amortize the pass- through over 27.5 years instead of the allowable 10 years, preserving her housing stability. • An elderly monolingual Mandarin-speaking couple living in a Chinatown single-room occupancy (SRO) for 34 years faced a 6.9% rent increase based on alleged banking. CLR filed a RAP petition, and during mediation, the hearing officer determined the owner had exhausted all banking. The legal increase was capped at 2.3%, and a settlement reduced the rent to $437.64—saving the tenants $49.36 per month.
CLR continues to respond to RAP staff referrals within 48 hours and provides legal consultations to tenants attending Know-Your-Rights workshops. These workshops educate tenants on local and state housing laws and offer one-on-one consultations.
Contract Scope and Deliverables
Under the current contract, CLR provides legal representation to tenants with household incomes up to 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). The proposed contract extension will require CLR to represent at least 55 tenants per year. The proposed annual cost of $250,000 is based on an estimated 10 to 27 hours of attorney and paralegal time per case, which includes:
1. Supporting tenants in negotiating resolutions, representing them in mediations, hearings, and appeals, and advising them on their rights under Oakland’s rent adjustment, eviction, and tenant protection ordinances;
2. Prioritizing tenants for representation based on language access, technological barriers, and other equity considerations.
Alternatives
An alternative to extending the contract is to issue a new RFP to attract additional respondents.
However, this approach would likely result in a significant gap in legal services for LMI tenants, with no guarantee of receiving any other qualified proposals.
FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended contract amount is $250,000 per year for up to four years starting October 1, 2025, contingent on funding availability through the City’s budget process. Funding for the first two years in the amount of $500,000 is included in the FY 2025-27 Adopted Biennial budget in Rent Adjustment Program Fund (2413), Residential Rent Arbitration Organization (89969), Third Party: Grant Contracts Earned Account (54912), Rent Arbitration P180020 Project (1001110).
Jestin D. Johnson, City Administrator
Subject: Contract for Tenant Representation at RAP Proceedings Date: September 29, 2025 Page 5
Funding for the other two years in the amount of $500,000 is contingent upon funding availability and the adoption of the future budget cycle. The total amount of the $1,000,00 will be charged to the Rent Adjustment Program Fund (2413), which is restricted to be used by RAP through Ordinance No. 125172 C.M.S.
PUBLIC OUTREACH / INTEREST
The initial RFP released on June 9, 2023 sought to find qualified respondents that could provide these services. The RFP was advertised in three local newspapers and distributed to legal aid suppliers registered with the City’s iSupplier system. Eleven potential contractors were then directly invited to submit a response to the RFP via iSupplier. Additionally, RAP staff hosted an information session for interested parties on June 23, 2023.
Through email communications, RAP informed property owner and tenant organizations such as East Bay Community Law Center, Eviction Defense Center, the Oakland Tenants Union, and East Bay Rental Housing Association about seeking Council authorization for a new contract with CLR and waiver of the RFP and Small Local Business Enterprise requirements for the contract.
COORDINATION
The City Attorney’s Office and Budget Bureau have reviewed this report. The Department of Workplace and Employment Standards also contributed to this report.
SUSTAINABLE OPPORTUNITIES
Economic: Extending this contract will support the implementation of the Rent Adjustment Ordinance and help preserve Oakland’s affordable housing inventory for families, seniors, and residents with disabilities. By improving compliance with rent adjustment and eviction laws, the contract will help prevent tenant displacement and promote constructive relationships between property owners and tenants through access to legal representation in RAP proceedings.
Environmental: Execution of this contract will help mitigate adverse environmental impacts associated with existing rental housing by facilitating the resolution of petitions involving code violations and deferred maintenance. In doing so, it may uncover health and safety hazards, encouraging both tenants and property owners to take a vested interest in maintaining safe, habitable housing and fostering stability in established neighborhoods.
Race & Equity: This contract will contribute to a more equitable housing landscape in Oakland by supporting long-term tenancies and empowering both small property owners and low- and moderate-income tenants to resolve disputes through legal representation. Access to expert legal advice can help prevent and address issues such as unlawful rent increases and reductions in housing services, ensuring that tenants can remain in safe, affordable, and healthy housing.
