Why is the Legal Action Fund a valuable investment for you?

Recent actions by the Santa Barbara City Council may significantly affect property owners throughout the city. By a 4–3 vote, the Council approved a rental freeze effective February 26, 2026, retroactive to December 16, 2025. This measure temporarily prohibits rent increases during the freeze period.

We are committed to advocating for sound housing policy, fair property rights, and a balanced approach to regulation that benefits all community members — tenants and housing providers alike. 100% of your contribution will be directed to legal expenses associated with this effort. Thank you for your support.
