Katherine Harr's Ballot StatementBy Katherine HarrCandidate for Rent Stabilization Board Commissioner; City of Berkeley |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
Visit my Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/Harr.for.Berkeley.Rent.BoardI became a tenant rights counselor at the San Francisco Tenants Union in 1999, after our small building of longtime tenants defeated a huge illegal rent increase and secured necessary repairs. Now I work at the Eviction Defense Collaborative, and I recently bought a West Berkeley duplex. I enjoy speaking with people one-on-one about how the law impacts our everyday life and our communities. At the Rent Board, I chair the Committee on Waivers, and serve on the Outreach and Eviction/Section 8/ Foreclosure Committees. I believe that safe, healthy, affordable housing is a human right, and work passionately on a daily basis to make sure everyone has access to justice. Our Rent Board must remain a place where all landlords and tenants can find assistance and resolve disputes without need for expensive attorneys. My priorities are outreach and education, owners and tenants in foreclosures, and the condition of housing. Without a secure and stable place to live, no one can reach their full potential. I am endorsed by sitting Rent Board Commissioners Chong, Shelton, and Tregub. I was chosen to run on the pro-rent control slate nominated by the July 25th Berkeley Tenants Convention. |
