Abundant Housing LA’s 2022 annual report, which details our policy wins, our growth as an organization, and the new strategic plan we wrote over the past year, is out now!
The report begins with a letter from AHLA Executive Director Leonora Camner, reprinted here:
This has been a transformative year for Abundant Housing LA.
At the state level, we helped pass landmark bills ending parking minimums near public transit and legalizing housing on commercial-zoned land. Locally, our advocacy in the housing element update process sets the stage for meaningful change over the next few years.
Internally, we have grown tremendously. We almost doubled our staff, hiring seven new staffers you can read about on pages 11 and 12. We also wrote a new strategic plan to guide our work, parts of which are included in this report.
This internal growth and work has allowed us to take our education, advocacy, and political work to the next level. Our scaled-up organizing team has reactivated dormant local chapters and started new ones, including new chapters at UCLA and USC. We held dozens of public events to educate the public and created a new pro-housing training that graduated 37 community leaders.
And we are not stopping: we are currently planning out our organizing strategies, educational programs, policy proposals, and research for 2023. I look forward to your continued support.
Best,
Leonora Camner
