There has been a change in the law that increases the rent for residents of low income housing. They used to pay 30% of their income after deductions such as medical expenses, and now they have to pay 35%, not including the medical expense deductions. For many people, this increase is impossible to adjust to, as they have been accustomed to a fixed income and fixed expenses. Please change this or many people may possibly become homeless. Below is a letter from a low income senior resident.
I am a resident in California low income housing. A bill has been passed that will change our rent to an amount we cannot afford. Because of this, we will have to move, and to where I do not know. Under a bridge? Alleys? Your lawn? What has happened to us? I have been disabled for 30 years!
