UNIDAD

Make it make sense: in an affordable housing emergency, the City of LA is considering selling historic public land for a for-profit corporation to build a luxury hotel. What are the City Council's motives? change.org/p/los-angeles-… #affordablehousing change.org/p/los-angeles-…

🚨LA needs more affordable housing, but not at the expense of demolishing existing affordable units and displacing vulnerable renters! ED1 should exempt RSO units from streamlining and NOT single family homes. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

🖥 You can join the City Council meeting by Zoom: planning-lacity-org.zoom.us/j/88699128008 ☎️ You can also dial by phone: (669) 900-9128 and use meeting ID: 886-9912-8008

Help us demand that City Council amend the ordinance to ensure: ☑️ No streamlining on sites with residential housing ☑️ New developments are truly affordable to people at risk of displacement ☑️ Housing approved under this ordinance is affordable forever docs.google.com/document/d/1Uf…

🚨 Tomorrow (10/11) at 6-8pm, LA City Council will discuss the Affordable Housing Streamlining Ordinance. This is the same ordinance that reduces the time it takes to approve new affordable housing developments in LA.

PProperty owners should have to create Tenant Habitability Plans instead of resorting to no-fault evictions. The mass evictions at Barrington Plaza serve as an example of how affordable units can be lost due to mandatory retrofits. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

Working-class Californians fought hard to pass tenant protections to keep their families housed. But corp. landlord Blackstone is trying to block new, stronger protections. Let's hold them accountable! Join ACCE Los Angeles 3/27-3/31 for a WEEK OF ACTION to pass #SB567 & #ACA10

Yesterday, City Council passed a motion to explore codifying a Renter’s Right to Counsel (RTC) in LA! An RTC ordinance would stipulate that tenants who have to appear in eviction court have the right to a lawyer and eviction prevention services.

Today, the UNIDAD coalition sent a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in response to her Executive Directive to inventory city-owned land for permanent and affordable housing. We urge her to preserve the Bethune site in South LA for public good. saje.net/mayor-bass-the…

Last week the mayor issued an executive directive regarding underutilized city-owned land. We think that her directive is in the spirit of "Public Land for Public Good" which has been our goal with the Bethune Library site. Read our open letter: unidad-la.org/letter-to-mayo…
