Community Group Champions Poor Tenants
Agency fights Ellis Act evictions, promotes fire safety
By Neela Banerjee
Holding out a bowl of New Year’s candies, 72-year-old So Sum Tam explained happily how she had lived in her one-room apartment in Chinatown for over 20 years.
“I wouldn’t have had anywhere to go,” Tam said. Her rent is $306 a month.
Tam is one of the residents of 665 Clay Street, one of two buildings that the Chinatown Community Development Center (CCDC) recently acquired with help from the city. She is also one of the hundreds CCDC saved from Ellis Act eviction.
