We Thrive in Riverside Renters Association request for local government to expand the eviction moratorium

Due to recovery for certain demographics will be impacted and need assistance to recover .Cobb County magistrate court was wall to wall with evictions prior to the pandemic

Recovery for many individuals and families will extend well beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, a national, comprehensive moratorium on evictions should be extended past the pandemic to ensure that renters are able to remain housed. When moratoriums on evictions do expire, renters will face an accumulation of owed back rent. Rent, deposit, and utility assistance that lasts throughout the pandemic and its recovery would provide essential aid for the more than 1 in 6 renters who are not current on rent payments and could prevent evictions altogether.

We thrive in Riverside Renters Association demand state legislators make a law to expunge eviction records

During the pandemic period March 2020 to March 2022 so people can have a fair chance in acquiring housing

Having an eviction on one’s credit report and/or public record can affect one’s ability to secure housing.97 Local legislation, such as Washington, D.C.’s Eviction Record Sealing Authority Amendment Act of 201998 and Fairness in Renting Emergency Amendment Act of 2020,99 could help people looking to rent by sealing eviction records to prevent landlords from denying an applicant housing based on public records.

If people don’t have a place to live they can’t vote

We Thrive In Riverside Renters Association will partner with coalitions to effectively execute the plan

We support community partnerships and accountability

Meaningful community partnerships must be prioritized, resourced, and sustained to ensure more equitable responses, encourage quarterly meetings with community organizations, school districts, elected officials that provide updates and concrete outcomes
