Support SB 329 (Mitchell), Stop Discrimination Against Section 8 Recipients!
WE WON! THIS BILL PASSED!
California State Senate Bill 329, sponsored by Senator Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles), would amend the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) to include Section 8 and other housing assistance vouchers within California’s prohibition on discrimination based on source of income. SB 329 passed the State Senate, and is now making its way through the Assembly.

Making It in San Diego: 98-Year-Old Woman Facing Eviction in Ocean Beach
A 98-year-old woman is being evicted from her Ocean Beach home after living there for nearly three decades.
Betty Morse moved into her tiny Ocean Beach cottage back in the late 1980’s. After her husband died, she needed a place she could afford.
“I was by myself, but I managed,” Morse said. “I could walk to work.”
Morse said the rent was about $100 when she moved in.
“It was a beautiful place to live because you could walk to the beach and watch the sunset,” she said.
