The California Legislature has banned advertisements for apartments with 'No Section 8' in them.
under a bill passed by the state Legislature on Wednesday.
State Sen. Holly Mitchell, the bill’s author, said bans on Section 8 tenants unfairly harm people of color and those who earn low incomes. Mitchell and other supporters of the bill said they needed to act because of the state’s intensifying housing affordability problems and the difficulty Section 8 voucher holders have in finding apartments.
