Action Item for This Week:As a result of YOUR advocacy, Governor Newsom increased our region's home building target to 1.3 million; and the Southern California Association of Governments assigned the majority of that housing target to job-rich coastal cities.
The next step is for local governments to update the Housing Elements of their general plans to show the locations where housing can be built and the policies and strategies necessary to meet their targets.
After you sign up for the LA Housing Element Task Force, invite a coworkerto a late lunch protest on Thursday in DTLA— we are protesting "Fix the City", an ultra-NIMBY group which is suing the City of LA over its efforts to increase zoned housing capacity along the Expo, promote housing density, and subsidize affordable housing.
And don't forget to sign up for our November Panel Series, Renters & the Housing Crisis, featuring Richard Bloom, Alex Fisch, and Michael Lens.
