7 20-0730 Subject: Giving Right Of First Refusal At Tax Auction To Affordable Housing Community
From: Council President Kaplan
Recommendation: Adopt A Resolution In Support Of Enactment Of Legislation By California Legislature That Would Require That The Affordable Housing Community Be Given The Right Of First Refusal On The Purchase Of Residential Housing Properties Subject To Tax Auction
Please adopt this resolution. Oakland is in a housing crisis. We need affordable housing in Oakland ASAP! Waitlists for subsidized housing are years long and homelessness is growing. Most folks cannot afford market rate housing and there are entire families renting out rooms or sleeping in their cars as a result. I hope this council will prioritize affordable housing today and in the future.
Please adopt this resolution. It is of utmost importance that we prevent a repeat of what happened in the 2008 financial crash and legislation of this nature would go a long way toward that goal.
