The City of Los Angeles needs a fair approach to housing growth. This week we’re sending a petition to the Mayor, the City Council, and the Department of City Planning urging them to distribute LA’s citywide RHNA target of 450,000 homes across all of its neighborhoods. This means that high-resource neighborhoods near jobs and transit, many of which have historically blocked housing growth, will need to plan for much more housing going forward.
This equitable distribution of housing growth will reduce traffic and carbon emissions, increase access to jobs and transit, open up exclusionary neighborhoods to Angelenos of all backgrounds, and foster economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s the right way to plan for LA’s future and ensure housing for all.
Housing 101 is back this Saturday at 12. This crash course on the housing history of LA and what we’re doing to end the housing crisis is great for new members who are interested in learning more, experienced members who want to deepen their understanding of housing issues, and those who are just interested in seeing what we’re all about.
Have you taken a stand for the Reese Davidson Community? This awesome development from Venice Community Housing would bring 140 units of housing to Venice; half would be for formerly homeless people, a quarter for low-income artists, and a quarter for other low-income people. We made a short video with more info!
