Program areas at CJJC

Basebuilding: CJJC reached over 11,000 tenants in Oakland and San Francisco facing eviction, harassment and other challenges as the Omicron variant exacerbated the pandemic. SF tenants especially struggled, as they did not have the protections that Oakland tenants had due to the eviction moratorium won by CJJC and its allies in 2020, which is in place until the emergency declaration is lifted by Oakland and Alameda County.
CJJC graduated 40 new member leaders from a training series in December 2021 and furthered their leadership development with our first in-person organizing training, since the start of the pandemic, held in partnership with CTWO in May 2022.
Housing, Land, & Development: CJJC and our allies achieved a significant win by limiting rent increases in rent controlled buildings in Oakland to 60% of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 3%, whichever is lower. Renters were facing a 6.7% increase based on the old policy allowing 100% of the CPI each year.
