The City of Oakland Department of Housing and Community Development is helping to promote a research study related to the impact of the Fair Chance Access to Housing Ordinance.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FAIR CHANCE HOUSING IMPACT STUDY
UC Berkeley researchers from the Institute of Urban & Regional Development, Margaretta Lin and Charisma Acey, are conducting a study on the effectiveness of Fair Chance Housing laws passed in the cities of Oakland and Berkeley, which are intended to reduce ethnic and racial disparities in access to housing for the re-entry population.
WHO CAN RESPOND TO THE SURVEY?
The research team is seeking Oakland and Berkeley property owners and property managers to take an online 10–20-minute survey about their experiences with the Fair Chance Housing laws in Oakland and Berkeley. The survey is anonymous and individual information will be kept secure through strict adherence to UC Berkeley research standards.

If you are an Oakland or Berkeley property owner or property manager who is interested in taking the survey, please fill out this intake form. After you fill out the intake form, you will receive an individualized link to complete the survey. At the end of the survey, you will receive a $25 virtual gift card. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the research team at fchresearch@berkeley.edu.
