In Merced, we supported tenant leaders to reverse illegal rent hikes in the same complex where we previously fought illegal evictions after the California floods a few years ago, keeping families in their homes and protecting vulnerable residents and seniors from homelessness. Through our leadership and Know Your Rights training, renters were able to identify the problem on their own and take action.
