San Mateo County needs to extend the eviction moratorium to allow families with COVID-related rent debt to apply for AND RECEIVE emergency funds. We need more time to prevent mass eviction and homelessness.

[FaithinActionBayArea @FIABayArea]

San Mateo County has $47MM in funding to help families with COVID-related rent debt, but only $19.9MM has been requested! Tenants face language and technological barriers, and most landlords don't know about the program. https://t.co/UvFzlShqeB

The annual cost for support of people in permanent housing is LESS EXPENSIVE than the annual cost of offering a temporary shelter bed. It's the smart thing to do and the moral thing to do. Sign this petition and tell @LondonBreed to fund the hotels: https://t.co/BFjUy5uoGv

[FaithinActionBayArea @FIABayArea]

San Francisco has a golden opportunity to invest one-time state and federal funding to expand the stock of permanent supportive housing for thousands of unhoused San Franciscans. Sign this petition and tell @LondonBreed to fund the hotels: https://t.co/BFjUy5uoGv

[FaithinActionBayArea @FIABayArea]
