In His “On the Record” Ethnic Media Column, Gov. Newsom Highlights State’s Support for California Renters Amid Pandemic

SACRAMENTO—  Governor Gavin Newsom Oct. 28, released his latest “On the Record” column raising awareness of the new resources and protections for renters in California experiencing economic hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the state’s continued advocacy for action from the federal government to support renters and homeowners.

“We have made remarkable progress in helping more Californians keep a roof over their heads during this emergency, but even a state as large and influential as ours cannot tackle a national crisis on our own,” wrote the Governor in his column. “Without federal support for renters and homeowners, anyone out of a job, behind on their housing payments or struggling with medical bills will potentially face the prospect of losing their home. That’s not right, it’s not fair and it’s not good for our economy or communities. Investing in our renters can make a big difference around the country. It would help stabilize the housing market, help America recover from the devastating economic impacts of the pandemic and keep people in their homes.”

The column is part of a media collaboration with California Black Media, Ethnic Media Services, ImpreMedia, Univision and LGBTQ outlets Bay Area Reporter and Los Angeles Blade to contribute original content from the Governor on topics impacting Californians, including the state’s diverse communities.
