An ordinance amending Chapter 9-800 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Landlord and Tenant," by adding a new Section 9-810, entitled "Prospective Tenant Screening 02:05:10 Practices," to regulate the application and selection process for housing units.

Council President Clarke

The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Brooks.

Councilwoman Brooks

Thank 02:05:19 you, Council President. I want to express my gratitude to the bill co-sponsors, Councilmembers Gauthier, Gym, Henon, Thomas, for their commitment to housing justice and to the number of 02:05:29 Stated Meeting June 24, 2021 6/24/21 - STATED - 2ND READING community organizations, renters, and advocates who have tirelessly pushed this legislation forward. As a woman who has struggled 02:05:38 firsthand with housing insecurity, it's meaningful to me to have introduced the Renters' Access Act. The bill would reform the application and screening process to increase transparency and 02:05:50 accountability and decrease discrimination and discrimination having a disproportionate impact to working-class Black women and their families. 02:06:02 I commend this Council body for a shared commitment to increasing access to stable housing for all Philadelphians and address the system of inequalities. This year we have been setting nationwide 02:06:14 precedents for renter protections, and I am increasingly incredibly proud to be leading with you all. Thank you so much, Council President. 02:06:27 Stated Meeting June 24, 2021 6/24/21 - STATED - 2ND READING
