A coalition of prominent civil rights, housing, and domestic violence groups is urging the San Jacinto City Council to reject a proposed nuisance abatement ordinance that would have a devastating effect on some of the city’s neediest residents. The ACLU of Southern California, National Housing Law Project, Western Center on Law & Poverty, California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, and Alternatives to Domestic Violence have sent the city council a letter of opposition as the council prepares to vote on the law at its Tuesday, August 21 meeting.
