The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved restarting a local rent relief program with more than $50 million available to tenants in need.
Recognizing that many renters are still struggling with financial hardship stemming from pandemic-related job loss or illness, The City’s supervisors voted unanimously on Tuesday to restart a local relief program for tenants.
But AB 2179 also puts limitations on renter protections created at the local level. The new state law grandfathers in some local eviction protection policies passed before Aug. 19, 2020, such as the eviction moratorium in Oakland. But cities including San Francisco, where the local eviction moratorium expired on Dec. 31, 2021, are now preempted from re-enacting the local eviction ban under the new state law.
San Francisco has so far distributed $21 million among 3,000 households in its federal funding intended for local COVID-19 relief, according to the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development. Critics of the state law include Senator Scott Wiener and Assemblymember Phil Ting , who support rent relief but argued that preempting local eviction moratoriums in some cities would prevent further needed assistance.
