San José Municipal Code § 5.10.110
in effect5.10.110 - Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to enhance the public welfare by providing increased access to housing opportunities for low-income residents through a policy that prohibits different treatment of persons based upon whether they receive a rental assistance subsidy. This Ordinance is intended to promote equal consideration and treatment of Housing Choice Voucher Holders and other individuals who receive rental assistance through local agencies, Federal, State, or non-profit organizations. The adoption of a housing payment equality ordinance will enable tenants who are receiving financial assistance to be equally considered as candidates for housing and not systematically denied simply because of their source of income.
