Centro Legal de la Raza / Tri-Valley Fair and Secure Housing Project Centro Legal de la Raza (Centro Legal) is a legal services agency protecting and advancing the rights of low-income renters through bilingual legal representation, education, and advocacy. Centro Legal is requesting $46,628 in funding to provide legal consultations, representation, outreach, and tenant education services to low-income Pleasanton tenants facing housing instability, eviction, and potential displacement.

However, the County Board of Supervisors has not yet voted to fund ACHS for the current or next fiscal year. Therefore, the availability of other legal services for Pleasanton tenants is currently undetermined, making this funding even more critical a wave of evictions is expected after the county eviction moratorium expires on April 29, 2023.
