Guadalupe Fernandez, Tahirih Policy and Advocacy Manager in Houston, spoke to the Houston Chronicle on how the eviction crisis has impacted immigrant survivors and the urgent need for a grace period ordinance.
Fernandez said:
“The city is saying, ‘We’ll take a look at it,’ but the deadline has passed. Rent is due next week. Even if the city finally chooses to put it on the agenda next week, it’s too late.”
