Venice Community Housing

From helping establish a regional agency dedicated to affordable housing and tenant protections to advocating for housing justice policies, we’ve done a lot these past few years! But we know that building a LA County that's accountable to its communities will take much more work.

But at the same time, we're also very concerned that projects like @VCHC Venice Dell Community apartments are being actively sabotaged by the LA City Attorney and @TraciParkforLA (latimes.com/opinion/story/…)

We're happy that ED1 removes barriers to help expedite new affordable housing production and we support @MayorOfLA efforts to dust off City Hall. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

It’s time to invest in our neighborhoods that have historically been divested from and disinvested in. Let’s start by providing the most vulnerable and low-income communities in LA County with the resources they need: permanently affordable housing.

👉This Saturday! I'll be signing 📚books 📚with @AndreaJLoney @sashamayerdraws @bshum79 @LoriRSnyder @Author_Cisneros at @HUZZAHToys in Venice. Free treats and fun toy pairings (🎁gift wrapped!🎁) Book sale proceeds benefit @VCHC 😃 Hope to see you there!

Well-coordinated, comprehensive, AND collaborative solutions to housing our unhoused neighbors and keeping housing affordable for the long-term—all across LA County? We’re all for it 👏🏼 LACAHSA public meetings every month. For more details: lacahsa.la @VCHC

Today we’re with @TWRisingLA @LAANE @UNITEHERE11 @seiuusww @pwcscorg @VCHC @thaicdc at LA City Hall, meeting with our elected officials!

⚠SB 4 is a critical measure to address our homeless crisis by unlocking over 171,000 acres of land for affordable housing. We urge @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom to sign the bill and help us address California's housing needs!

🚨 This is not a drill 🚨 After a frustrating Spring and Summer fighting legal battles brought on by tax-evading billionaires, we are so excited that the first of many programs funded by the mansion tax will come into effect—starting today. Learn more: housing.lacity.org

Our second art visioning session will be on September 28 at 5:30PM. Join us as we hear from local artist Francisco Letelier, and give your creative ideas and feedback for the art installation at our future 20th Street site! RSVP here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Join us tomorrow at 1 for the next #LACAHSA board meeting 🫡 We’ll collectively discuss ways to make housing more affordable through stronger tenant protections and more funding for low-income housing. More info: LACAHSA.la @OurFuture_LA

"This is ridiculous. Venice Dell has been years in development. The project has been approved twice by the L.A. City Council."

WHAT IS GOING ON? 🏠 The Venice Dell Community project would provide supportive services and 140 affordable apartments to low-income artists, low-wage households, & people experiencing homelessness. Over 2,000 Angelinos are on record in support of the Venice Dell Community. 2/8

Over the years, @vchcorp and @hollywoodhousing have been working on the Venice Dell Community—a project that would provide supportive services and 140 affordable apartments. We need the @mayorofla to take action to ensure the Venice Dell Community can move forward and get built

We NEED Venice Dell Community💙 In addition to safe & affordable homes, residents will have access to employment services, health services, case management and so many more resources. THIS is how we end homelessness 🙌🏽
