The U.S. Department of Justice has reached a first-of-its-kind agreement with a California city and sheriff's department over a "crime-free" rental housing program that led to Black people and Latinos being evicted from their homes based on allegations they had committed crimes.

The ordinances encourage or even require landlords to evict tenants based on allegations they committed crimes on or near the rental property, even if the alleged offenses are minor.

The settlement is the result of a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by the Justice Department in 2019, alleging the city of Hesperia violated the federal Fair Housing Act and Title 6 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibits discrimination.

The lawsuit was filed after the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development conducted an investigation into Hesperia's program and found that Black renters were almost four times more likely to be evicted under the program than white renters; Latino renters were 29% more likely.

The program in Hesperia required rental property owners to evict tenants when they received notice from the sheriff's department that the tenants had engaged in alleged criminal activity on or near the property, whether or not the allegations resulted in an arrest, charge or conviction, the Department of Justice said in a news release.

It also encouraged landlords to evict entire families when only one household member engaged in purported criminal activity, even survivors of domestic violence, federal officials said.

“These ordinances can uproot lives, force families into homelessness and result in loss of jobs, schooling and opportunities for people who are disproportionately low-income people of color,".

Crime Free Rental Housing Program
Increasingly, law enforcement finds that crime problems often migrate from apartment communities to condominium rentals and then to single family home rentals. This is especially true for organized crime, marijuana growers, methamphetamine labs, and gang activity. These criminals prefer the privacy, extra storage, and absence of daily on-site property management.

These private landlords soon find that the problems associated with serious criminal activity are beyond their ability to control. It cannot be solved by law enforcement intervention alone because of landlord-tenant and privacy laws. To solve the problem it requires a community-based solution like the Crime Free Rental Housing Program.

The Crime Free Rental Housing Program is a, state-of-the-art, crime prevention program designed to reduce crime, drugs, and gangs on small rental properties.

What is the Crime Free Rental Housing Program?
The program consists of three phases that is completed under the supervision of the local law enforcement. Homeowners and property managers can become individually certified after completing training in each phase and the property becomes certified upon successful completion of all three phases.
