Stop the eviction! No to slumlords!

Residents at the California Hotel are threatened with eviction. They received a letter on July 1, notifying them that the hotel will close on July 15. Some of the residents have lived in the affordable housing unite for 20 years.
tenants at the California Hotel in Oakland and their supporters had gather at 3501 San Pablo Avenue Oakland to protest the attempt to illegally lock them out of their housing by their landlord Cahon Associates, and Oakland Community Housing Inc.

These two slumlords plan to evict all 75 tenants from the California Hotel on July 15 by shutting off the utilities, and water. The tenants at the hotel are mostly elderly, disabled persons who are very low income and have no where else to go.

The landlords are in violation of their agreement with The State of California Tax Credit Allocation Committee to run a very low income project for thirty years (1990 to 2020). The State has warned them against this illegal closure but that has not stopped Cahon Associates and Charles Fowlks from conducting this illegal action. Cahon Associates also owns six other properties in Oakland including San Antonio Terraces, James Lock Courts and others.
These are all scheduled to be closed down and turned into transitional housing with the eviction of the residents in the future after the California Hotel is shut down.
