S.J. approves 90-day moratorium on rent for residents affected by government shutdown

The San Jose City Council on Jan. 24 unanimously approved a 90-day moratorium on rent for residents affected by the federal government shutdown, which has lasted more than a month.

The program will apply to residents who benefit from federal housing vouchers, such as Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing and Section 8, and those federal employees who are furloughed.
