STOP RENT FREEZE

Santa Barbara City Council is moving forward with a proposed rent freeze ordinance that includes retroactive provisions and is intended to serve as a bridge to permanent rent stabilization. While the ordinance is being framed as temporary, its impacts begin immediately and will carry long-term consequences for housing supply, affordability, and local housing providers.

** TIME CHANGE** The Rent Freeze Ordinance will be heard today at 5pm (not 2pm as previously agendized). Wear black to show unified, respectful concern about the impacts of this ordinance.
