incarcerated people. have you been convicted of a felony? a new ordinance in alameda county strikes that sentence and could help rick the cycle of homelessness. >> now that the ordinance has been passed, the fear factor has been removed. >> it is a fear that le all too well. he is formerly incarcerated. release from prison in 2016 after serving 30 years and had a tough time securing housing. even though he had paid his debt to society. >> i committed a crime, went to prison, did my time. why punish our families, why put a mother in a position to tell her child that you cannot come live with me and that i have to force you to be homeless? >> they eventually found a landlord willing to rent, but his story is one of many. that will change in alameda county thanks to a fair chance housing ordinance passed last night by supervisors. the law named after the late

alameda county supervisor bans landlords from performing criminal background checks on prospective tenants, a move advocates believe will cut down on homelessness. >> we know from studies in records that about 73% of on house residents in oakland's homeless encampments have criminal records, so we can see it has been a barrier for them to access housing. we know a person with a criminal record is 10 times more likely to face homelessness on a whole. >> the ordinance follow similar laws passed in oakland and berkeley and now includes unincorporated areas of alameda county. while a coalition of groups in the bay area work to pass the measure, at least one attorney that specializes in landlord-tenant disputes and owns a property management company disagrees with the decision. >> i'm not in favor of the law. i respect it and understand the public policy behind it, however what i'm concerned about is ensuring a safe community of apartment or housing providers. >> california's system of mass

incarceration impacts people of color and black people are more likely to be on house in the bay area despite a dwindling population. they hope this ordinance change that for good. >> we have to take this ordinance and get this ordinance passed throughout california. every city in california. and the rest of the world. effect in alameda county's moratorium on evictions put in place at the start of the pandemic ends in april of 2023. this follows the fair chance act of 2018 that made it illegal for employers statewide to run, background checks when hiring employees. all of this making it easier for the formerly incarcerated to reenter society. >> julianne what are the voices in your story mentioned that this impacts the families of some of these incarcerated people. can you expand that? >> this was new for me and working on this story. folks who receive section eight housing vouchers are not allowed to have criminal records. so if a person who is

incarcerated gets out of the system, needs a place to stay, and while they're trying to get on their feet, if they are taken in by a family memory, that family member can actually lose their housing assistance. that means in many cases the person has nowhere to go, leaving them on houston hopefully this ordinance will change. >> all right, thank you julian. you can get in touch with julian on twitter and facebook at julian g abc 7. on instagram he is julian glover tv. julian spent two years on a documentary exposing systemic inequalities for people of color in the home appraisal system. that documentary is available on demand, watch it on hulu and wherever you stream at the abc 7 bay area news app. >> coming out asian communities in the east bay have demented action following a rise in hate crimes. tonight you will see what is
