Subject: Re: Market rate for Oakland.

Camille,

I'm not sure how to answer your question. The term "market rate" as it relates to rental housing is typically used
to describe currently posted rent rates - which is clearly driven by large property management firms or newly
constructed advertised units. This is not reflective of the true rental market as this usually overshadows actual
rent rates that are effect. There are 1000s of units of rentals that are far below published market rates as is
evidenced by those agreements at 2551 San Pablo. A true "market rate" - an agreement reached between two
parties in the marketplace. In the case of 2551, many people reached agreements that were far below the
current published rental rates.

As we work to get victims into permanent affordable housing, we are seeking to match people with units that
will welcome their rents. Those who are working as still low income and need units that they can afford to live
in. Some were paying up to $800 but most paid within the range identified by the staff.

As a landlord, you have the opportunity to make your units available at a price that they can pay. For example,
if you have a 3 bedroom that you are willing to make available as shared housing, you can let the staff know
that. For example, you are able to send a message to the housing team and say, I have a 3-bedroom apartment
that rents for $1500 per month; I'll make available as shared housing at $500 per room.

This type of information will be helpful. If however, your units are above that price point, it's not likely a good
fit for those in most need.

City of Oakland,

I have available units for rent at market rate in West Oakland and Bushrod area. I have gotten in
contact with three people that are working to help relocate the San Pablo fire victims.

Susan called me from the West Oakland Youth Center on April 5, 2017 to ask me the rates for
my available units. I gave her the price of the units along with a breakdown of how much each
room would go for if they are rented by rooms. After discussing the price range for the units she
indicated that the rates were too high.

I decided to call Pam Hall after speaking with Susan to touch bases with her. I asked her if she
had any victims that were working that she may have came across. She told me she was not
going to direct anybody in my direction because she has no experience with the victims. She then
asked me if I had a caseworker. I told her my name is, , we spoke the other day
about the unit I have available for rent in Oakland. Ms. Hall indicated to me that my rates are too
high and that she is not going to direct anybody in my direction because the victims are used to
paying $350.00-$400.00 a month for a room, an entire unit, etc. I asked again if she came across
any victims that were working so I could connect them with the victims that got in contact with
me that had jobs. She told me she had not got in contact with any victims that had job, and at this
time the victims are looking for temporary housing. I indicated that we are offering temporary
and permanent housing. After I got off the phone with Pam I called Michelle Byrd and left a
message requesting assistance to determine market rate for my building and the surrounding
area.

Pam and her co worker called me asking if they could see the unit around 12pm. I told them that
the doors will be unlocked and that they can stop by whenever they would like. They both
collectively told me my rates were too high, but they will pass my information on to the victims.
I explained to them that we could try to coordinate multiple tenants for the unit and I will
negotiate the rental terms with the tenants.

I looked up available unit for $350.00-$400.00 a month and I can not seem to find anything to fit
those demands. Would somebody please assist me in understanding market rate for Oakland.
Where can these victims go for $350.00-$400.00 a month? A lot of the victims that were paying
$350.00-$400.00 a month have children that they are housing.

Thank you,

Subject: San Pablo Fire Information and Follow Up

Dear City Councilmembers,

On Monday, March 27, 2017, at approximately 5:40 a.m., Oakland Fire Dispatch received a call reporting a fire
at 2551 San Pablo Avenue. Due to the fires intensity and the large number of occupants residing in the
building, the fire was escalated to a fourth alarm. Oakland Fire rescued at least 15 persons during the incident
and assisted dozens more in evacuation.

There were four injured victims (2 adults and 2 children) transported to Alta Bates Summit Medical Center and
UCSF Benioff Childrens Hospital Oakland for treatment. It is our understanding that the injuries sustained
were not life threatening.

There were four fatalities. Of the four victims, two names have been released by the Alameda County Sherriffs
Office, Coroners Bureau: Edwarn Anderson, 64 and Cassandra Robertson, 50.

Throughout the day, Oakland Fire crews went through the building extinguishing hot spots and conducting a
thorough search of the building. The Oakland Police Department was on scene for traffic controls purposes.
Oakland Fire was assisted on this incident by the Alameda County Sherriffs Office which provided search dogs
to help locate victims.

On Wednesday, March 29, the Oakland Fire Department concluded its operations at 2551 San Pablo Avenue,
and the building was turned over to the property owners representatives to be secured. The fire has been
deemed to have been accidentally caused. The fire investigation report should be completed in the next few
weeks.

Emergency Shelter
The City of Oakland is coordinating with the American Red Cross and the Alameda County Health Care
Services Agency to provide additional resources to these impacted individuals. In addition to emergency shelter
at the West Oakland Youth Center, services offered onsite at the shelter include grief counseling, meals,
housing location assistance and medical, social and behavioral support services.

The emergency shelter has operated 24/7 since Monday, March 27. As of Monday night, April 3, only 13
individuals spent the night at the shelter.

The attached Draft Framework on prioritizing assistance outlines the steps being taken to support all victims
who were displaced by the fire. Given there are insufficient housing options immediately available, this
prioritization framework guides the City to ensure the most vulnerable residents (seniors, mothers with children,
and people with serious mental or physical health conditions or disabilities) are given priority for an appropriate

1
housing placement. These criteria are consistent with existing practices for allocating emergency shelter and
housing resources.

The City, Alameda County and other public, non-profit and private housing providers are working to identify a
full range of housing options, based on need, for all impacted residents including shelter, transitional housing,
permanent supportive housing and affordable housing options. Clients will be offered various options based on
their need, program eligibility and availability of beds/units.

The emergency shelter at the West Oakland Youth Center will close for overnight stays on Wednesday, April 5,
2017. The last night for overnight shelter will be Tuesday, April 4, 2017.

Other Steps Being Taken

Local Assistance Center
On Tuesday, April 4, 2017, the City of Oakland and the Red Cross will open a comprehensive one-stop
assistance office at 270 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza (adjacent to Clay Street and across the street from the Elihu
Harris State Office Building). Hours of operation are scheduled from 10 am to 7 pm on Tuesday through Friday,
April 7, 2017.

City staff members are reaching out to the former residents of 2551 San Pablo Avenue to schedule specific
appointment times at the Local Assistance Center. The first priority for appointments will be seniors, mothers
with children and people with serious mental or physical health conditions or disabilities. Appointments are
important in order to not jam up the center.

Finding and matching clients with available short- and mid-term housing is the most important initial step in
assistance. Workers will review eligibility criteria and other requirements. Other services will include the DMV,
State Employment Development Department,County Social Services, Food Bank, Red Cross and other
assistance.

Temporary Housing
A list of available shelter beds has been distributed. Shelter clients and other victims of the fire need to identify
temporary shelter as soon as possible before the West Oakland Shelter closes. Although shelter beds are not an
ideal or long-term solution, beds are being reserved by providers for fire victims.

Individuals with fragile health, mental or physical disabilities, and mothers with small children are being given
priority in being placed into medium- and longer-term housing. As more resources become available, we will
immediately post and email/text to affected families and individuals. The City and Red Cross remain committed
to identifying all housing resources available by the time the shelter closes.

Relocation Assistance
The City has rules that require a property owner to provide relocation assistance to tenants in the event of
displacement, where tenants must be relocated. This assistance is offered on a unit-by-unit basis not on an
individual basis. A more detailed explanation of this assistance and a worksheet for verifying tenancy was
distributed at the Shelter meetings. These same worksheets will also be available at the Local Assistance Center.
The City will do everything they can to expedite these payments to eligible tenants.

I will send additional related information in a separate email. Please let me know if you have any questions.
