Leveraging Public Health Data for Tenant Protections in an Immigrant Community

In response to COVID-19, the Vallejo BUILD team has focused on building community power in support of tenant protections. The team focused on an eviction ban during the shelter-in-place order, including connecting community organizers with other local communities, providing data and analysis, and spreading the word through the community about tenant protections. For example, they have created a data-driven regional health rationale in support of the moratorium, which has been adopted by neighboring counties. Additionally, they’ve since provided legal clinics and trainings around illegal evictions.
