Marie Condron had a blast talking #OurBestMove alongside @abodesweethome &@LAFamilyHousing @abc7JoshHaskell at this year’s @scanph conference. Feels hopeful to know that thoughtful people are tackling our affordable housing crisis together.

Amazing piece by Zella @all4thekids housing advocate with @ResidentsUnited, reminding us all that we have what it takes to make “homelessness brief, rare, and nonrecurring in California!” https://t.co/ZU6A4JCe6w

[Brilliant Corners @BrllntCrnrs]

Powerful piece by housing activist @ResidentsUnited
leader @all4thekids: "We can make homelessness brief, rare and nonrecurring in California... If there were more affordable homes and subsidies, I wouldn’t have waited so long for my own." https://t.co/t3Zpmo4ZEf

USC is planning to build a Health Science Campus (HSC), a 200,000 square foot lab facility in Boyle Heights, that has the potential to cause large displacement of people in to East LA, Boyle Heights and Northeast LA. This is why we marched against it today!

[Ocean & Mountain @oceanmodotcom]

Thank you @latimes, for highlighting the need for action on homeless housing in CD5. It's time to turn words into deeds and create a more equitable and compassionate community EVERYWHERE. #EndHomelessness #CD5

Huge. Spread the word 💙

[Ktown for All 💜❤ @KtownforAll]

There are multiple sweeps scheduled in Ktown today. Some of these locations include places where our volunteers have replaced tents due to repeated sweeps in the past few months. These sweeps are entirely about displacement—except that they don't work. So they keep happening.

[USA TODAY @USATODAY]

A Idaho family's violent eviction is one of the most egregious cases of unhoused people facing hostility from police for having nowhere else to go. https://t.co/6J6v16Gs8Y

[Peggy Bailey @PeggyBaileyDC]

Wages have risen but still haven’t closed the persistent gap between renters’ incomes and climbing housing costs.

[Los Angeles Public Press @LAPublicPress]

Street vendors have called SELA home for decades but recently Huntington Park has become a hostile place for them & their advocates. All this despite SB 972 which intended to decriminalize street vending in CA.

"Nobody likes the elephant in the room, but the reality is that there are thousands of sick Americans who are likely homeless — and sick — because of medical debt." https://t.co/IHBLVsDYGS
