Hi Friend,

Let’s be clear: the housing crisis discriminates. Years of bad planning and other practices have left disadvantaged communities starved of affordable housing, as segregation and air pollution rage on in LA.

The City of LA is required to plan for 456,000 new homes by 2029, including 184,000 that are affordable to lower-income households. We need to ensure that the city meets that goal in a way that’s fair, and prevent lopsided development that could worsen some of our biggest challenges.

So we’re sending a petition to the Mayor and LA City Council letting them know: the responsibility for solving the housing crisis needs to be shared!

Speaking of RHNA..

AHLA’s policy & research director Anthony explains the housing element, and what we need from city leaders in order to build a more equitable LA. Check it out.
