Hernandez noted that Hillside Villa is far from an isolated incident, as many other covenants are set to expire in the coming years, posing a threat to the city's affordable housing stock. The councilwoman also introduced a motion aimed at providing emergency rental assistance program for tenants who accrued more than six months of rent debt, specifically as a result of housing covenants expiring.
