We can hope for economic justice or we can fight for it.

I am fighting for #SB679 because Angelenos deserve affordable housing. #CALeg

Yes @sydneykamlager!

[Sydney Kamlager @sydneykamlager]

We need a hearing. We need housing. We can't wait any longer.

[Everyone In Long Beach @EveryoneInLB]

Awesome!! 🔥🔥

[Our Future Los Angeles @OurFuture_LA]

Huge news.

The L.A. City Council just unanimously voted to endorse LACAHSA with amendments.

We want to recognize @MikeBonin, Marqueece Harris-Dawson @mhdcd8, and Nury Martinez @cd6nury for supporting this bill that would make housing more affordable across L.A. County.

[Our Future Los Angeles @OurFuture_LA]

ACTION ALERT 🚨 SB 679 will create a single agency, called LACAHSA, that can directly address our affordable housing shortage and lack of renter protections in communities across L.A. County.

Believe it or not—this is something we’ve never had before in L.A. County.

[Everyone In Long Beach @EveryoneInLB]

It’s unanimous!

The city of Long Beach just endorsed the L.A. County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (SB 679) because it will bring affordable housing and resources to our community.

@Rendon63rd you see this?

This service is not only beneficial to the animals' health, but also provides our unhoused neighbors with needed services for anyone with a pet family member.

Shout out to @FixLongBeach and Sparky and the Gang for creating Paw Street Outreach, an initiative that's providing free spay and neutering services to the pets of people experiencing homelessness.

📢 Hey #LongBeach! 📢

Long Beach City Council is meeting August 17th to talk about SB 679 (agenda item #21). And we need to make sure they support it!

What would SB 679 (aka LACAHSA) do in Long Beach?

(THREAD)

[Everyone In Long Beach @EveryoneInLB]

It would:

🏠 Preserve and build housing that working families and individuals can afford

🏠 Protects hundreds of thousands of renters from unjust evictions, rent increases, and landlord harassment

[Everyone In Long Beach @EveryoneInLB]

In spite of the eviction moratorium, #LongBeach is facing an eviction crisis.

Read more above.

“The number of evictions has accelerated in 2021 – and they are happening despite a series of moratoriums...that are supposed to protect people who were barely scraping by when the pandemic made... them unable to pay rent.”

Tomorrow at 10AM ⏰

Join @sydneykamlager and @RexRichardsonLB as they discuss how passing SB 679 would address housing inequity by increasing access to affordable housing in underserved communities across L.A. County.

What could SB 679 and LACAHSA do for L.A. County?

[Everyone In Long Beach @EveryoneInLB]

✅ Adopt the PlaceTypes Zoning Code, a way to innovate land use regulation & identify good candidates for multi-family residential and mixed-use projects

#EveryoneInLB

[Everyone In Long Beach @EveryoneInLB]

Every city in L.A. County should take a cue from Long Beach’s recently released Housing Element for 2021-2029: Don’t wait—innovate.

✅ Stimulate more construction through innovative pilot programs like micro-unit housing plans
✅ Ensure every building w/ over 10 units sets aside a certain amount as affordable with an inclusionary housing ordinance
