Attorney General Brown Testifies on Civil Rights Enforcement and Other Key Legislative Priorities

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 1, 2023 Media Contacts: press@oag.state.md.us 410-576-7009 Attorney General Brown Testifies on Civil Rights Enforcement and Other Key Legislative Priorities Priority Bills Would Protect Civil Rights, Promote Equity, Increase Police Accountability and Transparency, and Enhance Public Safety BALTIMORE, MD – Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown today will testify in support of proposed legislation that reflects his top priorities as Maryland's new Attorney General—fighting discrimination and inequities, protecting Marylanders against civil rights violations, pursuing remedies for unlawful police practices, and enhancing public safety. "We want every Marylander to have an equal shot at all the rights and privileges of living in this great State, free from discrimination or bias," said Attorney General Brown. "Every Marylander should also feel protected by the law enforcement agencies we entrust to keep us safe. We are asking for authority to do our part to help build a safer and more equitable Maryland." The Attorney General is seeking authority to enforce civil rights violations throughout Maryland. Proposed legislation currently before the Maryland General Assembly would allow the Attorney General to investigate conduct that violates any federal or State civil rights laws, along with subpoena authority to obtain information during investigations into the alleged misconduct. The legislation would also allow the Attorney General to seek injunctive relief to prohibit further violations and to obtain civil penalties. The Attorney General's second priority bill would afford the Office authority to investigate and initiate non-criminal actions to remedy unlawful patterns or practices by officials in law enforcement, corrections, and detention. Numerous other states have passed similar legislation aimed at combatting systemic police misconduct, including California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Washington. To align Maryland with best practices in police accountability, Attorney General Brown has also supported legislators' efforts to extend prosecutorial authority to his office's Independent Investigations Division. This unit was created by the General Assembly two years ago as part of its police reform initiative to investigate police-involved fatalities. The bill would enhance public confidence that prosecution decisions are made in an impartial manner, by people who do not work together or rely on each other professionally or personally. The Attorney General's office has also requested, through the Governor's budget, additional resources and personnel to expand the Organized Crime Unit to enhance public safety, fight human and drug trafficking, and combat other violent crime throughout the State. https://www.marylandattorneygeneral.gov/press/2023/030123.pdf   Stay Connected with the Maryland Attorney General: SUBSCRIBER SERVICES: Manage Subscriptions  |  Unsubscribe All  |  Help  |   This email was sent to stevenmagallanes520.nims@blogger.com using GovDelivery Communications Cloud on behalf of: Maryland Attorney General · 200 St. Paul Place · Baltimore, MD 21202

California Today: An L.A. homeless student’s housing search challenge

Jacqueline Benitez thought getting a housing voucher would be a golden ticket to her own apartment. Her search quickly proved otherwise.

View in browser|nytimes.com Continue reading the main story March 1, 2023 By Corina Knoll It's Wednesday. The housing search for people in Los Angeles County with Section 8 vouchers remains maddeningly difficult, despite a law meant to prevent discrimination based on income. Plus, the governor rescinded the Covid-19 state of emergency. Jacqueline Benitez, right, looked around her new apartment in Bellflower for the first time with Melissa Castaneda, left, a community manager.Ariana Drehsler for The New York Times When I first met Jacqueline Benitez, a homeless community college student, she was thrilled to learn that she had just been approved for a housing voucher, commonly known as Section 8. It was August, and she was living in a housing development exclusively for homeless students who attended Cerritos College in Norwalk. But Benitez, 21, planned to transfer to a university, which would make her ineligible for the townhouse she shared with three roommates. Jovenes, a nonprofit based in Los Angeles, was able to give Benitez one of its housing vouchers earmarked for young adults experiencing homelessness. It was an enormous advantage, especially since Los Angeles County's housing authority has about 33,000 families or individuals on its wait list and has not taken additional applicants since 2009. And it meant that Benitez, who worked part time at a preschool, could get a subsidy for an apartment, leaving her to pay no more than 40 percent of her monthly adjusted income on rent. What happened next was maddening. Outdated listings, emails and voice mail messages that were never returned. Rental prices that suddenly increased after an inquiry. Apartments in disrepair that charged $2,000 a month. And the most egregious: Landlords made it clear that they did not want to rent to someone with a housing voucher. Continue reading the main story ADVERTISEMENT Benitez's journey became the focus of an article I wrote last month that revealed what someone with a voucher can encounter despite a state law that makes it illegal to discriminate against renters based on their source of income. "I knew it was going to be difficult, I was just naïve," she told me seven weeks into her search. "Everything is so automated. If I was actually able to talk to someone and share my story and let them meet me, I feel like that would make a difference." Landlords often associate Section 8 voucher holders with crime or consider them to be unreliable tenants. And while prospective tenants can report discrimination to the state civil rights department or request assistance from a legal services program, many just move on to the next listing, anxious about the expiration date on their voucher, or eventually give up. The success rate for Los Angeles County's housing authority from April 2021 to December 2022 was 44.7 percent of vouchers issued, according to a spokeswoman for the agency. Continue reading the main story ADVERTISEMENT As she searched, Benitez was juggling finals and awaiting a reunion with her mother, who was deported to England six years earlier for drug possession. The two had not seen each other in person since then. At one point Benitez was so overwhelmed by the stress of her housing that she wondered whether she might need to live at the hotel where her uncle stayed. She had help from a case manager through Jovenes and had also been assigned one of the housing authority's program specialists, but was still often confused. Following Benitez's experience revealed how the housing market in Los Angeles County can feel nearly impossible to navigate, even with support. Particularly for a young woman unfamiliar with many of the bureaucratic roadblocks. When a management company ran Benitez's credit, it came back blank. She had never owned a credit card for fear of going into debt like her mother, who had been arrested for petty theft. Ultimately Benitez reached out to more than 300 places. Her journey ended on a hopeful note, but she wondered how anyone without her same advantages could ever be as lucky. For more: Read the full article.
