Katherine Harasz won praise from Silicon Valley’s biggest politicos for her work, but some current and former employees characterize her as a leader who created a hostile environment during her time as executive director of the Santa Clara County Housing Authority.
Some of the complaints about Harasz’s leadership are outlined in a 140-page document filed in October by labor union SEIU Local 521, which represents many of the housing authority’s workers. The complaint obtained by San José Spotlight was filed to the state Public Employment Relations Board (PERB).

Fresno Bee 3/3/2021 Carmen George, The Fresno Bee
Mar. 2 Fresno has the most people per household and the highest percentage of families of large U.S. cities, according to a recent report that analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Four other California cities made the top 10 list for fullest houses in America: Los Angeles, San Jose, Sacramento and San Diego.
When all U.S. cities were compared, not just the largest 40, a handful of other San Joaquin Valley cities ranked higher for having the highest percentage of families housing children under the age of 18. Those are: Madera (No. 2), Hanford (No. 5), Visalia (No. 6), Merced (No. 10) and Stockton (No. 12). They are followed by Fresno (No. 15), Bakersfield (No. 17) and Modesto (No. 18).
