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." calmatters.org/commentary/20…
Once homeless, California makes it needlessly difficult for people to regain housing

Once homeless, California makes it needlessly difficult for people to regain housing

It's incredibly difficult for someone experiencing homelessness to regain housing in California, writes a formerly unhoused single parent.

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!

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.

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

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. The latest from SELA local @ADelCidLugo bit.ly/3PsvqxA

ULA’s first budget is being approved today and $150 million will start rolling out immediately for urgent tenant programs including rental assistance. LA’s housing & labor movements & city council did that together! @All4Transit @UnitedToHouseLA @cd4losangeles

LA's heatwave is dangerous for everyone, but can be especially deadly for unhoused people. Why does Skid Row only have one cooling station? @tufacemay reports on the city's unwillingness to protect unhoused residents from extreme heat. bit.ly/3DgtRNA
