2541 Modoc Rd. Evictions

Over 30 families from the Hillshore Gardens on Modoc Rd. received 60 day eviction notices in October. These families were given until December 12th, the day of Virgin of Guadalupe, to leave their homes. Many of these latino families have been living at these apartments for over 8 years. The families have begun organizing with the assistance of the Pueblo Education Fund to fight for a mediation process with their landlord, MRP Santa Barbara LLC, through the Rental Housing Mediation Task force. The landlord has agreed to begin mediations. Pueblo Education Fund is now training the tenants for negotiations.

Tenants, community members, as well as CLUE Santa Barbara gathered on November 8th for a vigil to bring awareness to neighbors and members of the community.
