The committee voted to put temporary protections in place for tenants affected by the January 2025 fires: it will pause rent increases citywide and work on rules that stop some evictions for people who say they suffered financial or medical harm from those fires. The housing department can hire temporary paralegals to help carry out the work. A separate proposal to extend the license for El Puente Bridge Housing was postponed.
