I am devastated to learn of the passing of my colleague and friend. Richard Valle was a champion for his District, especially his hometown of Union City. During his 10 years of service on the Board of Supervisors, Richard fought for safety-net services, mental health programs and was a tireless supporter of Saint Rose Hospital. He uplifted community volunteers through a highly successful annual volunteer appreciation event, promoted walkable neighborhoods through the Niles Canyon Stroll and Roll and educated the community about STEM programing through Science in the Park. He was an advocate for at-risk youth, job development programs, and was a steadfast champion for organized labor. My condolences to his wife, children, grandchildren, staff and to all those lucky enough to call Richard a friend. Rest in peace Supervisor Valle.

Guidance on applying for FEMA disaster assistance for storm damages

Alameda County was added this week to the major disaster declaration for California’s severe storms and flooding, meaning residents who had damage or losses from the storms that began Dec. 27, 2022, may now apply for FEMA disaster assistance. The declaration allows FEMA to provide direct support to individuals and households in Alameda County and 12 other California counties.

The deadline for homeowners or renters to apply is March 16, 2023. Disaster assistance may include grants to help pay for temporary housing and essential home repairs as well as other serious disaster-related needs such as medical and dental expenses, transportation, childcare, and moving and storage expenses.

Residents who have insurance should first file a claim with their insurance provider. FEMA provides assistance for uninsured or underinsured disaster-caused expenses and serious needs.

Applicants must use the disaster incident number DR-4683-CA when applying. There are several ways to apply for FEMA assistance under the Individual Assistance program:

STATEMENT BY ALAMEDA COUNTY SUPERVISOR NATE MILEY, PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS REGARDING JANUARY 24, 2023 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS’ MEETING & ITEMS RELATED TO THE EVICTION MORATORIUM AND TENANT PROTECTIONS

Alameda County has an existing eviction moratorium that will conclude 60 days after the end of the County’s local health emergency. Many anticipate that the County will follow the scheduled February 28th conclusion of the State’s health emergency.

On July 19th, the majority of the Board of Supervisors declined to schedule a public discussion of the eviction moratorium. I supported having this public discussion. I remain vocal that we must prepare for the pending wave of evictions. We have had nearly three years to do so.

On December 20, 2022, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors advanced the first reading of three ordinances designed to increase protections for tenants within the Urban Unincorporated Area. These ordinances would establish a registry of rental units, establish just cause protections for evictions and would restrict the use of background checks for those that have been formerly incarcerated as a way to disqualify them from renting. I believe in protecting the rights of tenants, but I also believe in protecting the investments of small mom and pop landlords. These ordinances would have the greatest impact on my District, as they solely apply to the Unincorporated Area.

I supported the ordinance which bans the use of background checks for those that have paid their debt to society. Folks that have served time should not further be punished, as doing so only increases the likelihood of recidivism. This ordinance would not apply to single family homes or properties with three or less units. I am prepared to do further work with both sides of this issue in an attempt to develop a compromise.

I support the creation of a rental registry to help identify and track the number of rental units within the Unincorporated Area of the County. I am concerned that the proposal currently being considered would establish a new and potentially costly program that would fall on property owners.

I abstained from the ordinance regarding Just Cause evictions because I feel that we need additional data on Assembly Bill 1482 -- a 2019 law that provides numerous forms for protections to tenants on a statewide basis. I also believe that this ordinance should not apply to rental properties with three or less units or single family homes.

These items were pulled from the Board’s agenda on January 10th by one of my colleagues.

Yesterday, I had hoped that the Board of Supervisors would discuss these items as scheduled. Translation services were being provided to ensure that all members of the public had an opportunity to participate. I am disheartened that for the second time, one of my fellow colleagues continued this item.

I was hoping that we could reach a compromise with the establishment of both a rental registry and just cause protections for multi-unit residences while exempting small mom and pop landlords.

We cannot reach a compromise nor develop meaningful public policy if we are not willing to have these conversations. If we cannot reach a compromise nor develop meaningful public policy we cannot protect tenants nor small landlords beyond February 28th.
