ANTIOCH, CA-  On September 10th, 2024, the Antioch City Council voted to pass a groundbreaking Just-Cause Eviction Ordinance, marking a significant win for tenants and a crucial step toward preventing homelessness in the community. With the passage of this ordinance, Antioch tenants will now have greater security in their homes, reducing the risk of sudden evictions for profit-driven reasons, such as “renovictions” and false owner move-ins.

Last night’s victory for Just-Cause Eviction Ordinance adds to the growing list of wins achieved by ACCE Antioch and allied partners, which has been at the forefront of the fight for housing justice in the city. Through persistent organizing and community mobilization, ACCE Antioch and Rising Juntos successfully rallied for the passage of the Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance (otherwise known as TAHO) and Rent Control Ordinance, both designed to safeguard tenants from exploitation and predatory practices by landlords.

Together, these victories form a comprehensive package of tenant protections, aimed at ensuring that families in Antioch can live without fear of unjust eviction, harassment, or sudden rent hikes. This latest win solidifies the progress in securing long-term housing stability for Antioch’s most vulnerable residents.
