Mission:

The Housing, Renters, & Homelessness Committee seeks to inform the community of local housing issues, to provide tenants assistance and information regarding their rights, to provide a platform for engagement with the unhoused in our community, to disseminate news about relevant policies, organizations, and events, to help strengthen local unhoused, housing, and tenants rights laws and improve the connections between the community, the City Council office, and the Los Angeles Housing Department and Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.

​

Goals:

  1. Ensure that the unhoused in Highland Park have a voice in the efforts to reduce homelessness in their community

  2. To determine legislation that protects the unhoused, renters, & housing insecure in Highland Park that is being considered by the city council that the board can vote on during this term and the following

  3. To survey and report needs being faced by the unhoused and tenants in Highland Park that the new board can advocate for during this term and the new term

  4. To establish connections with similar committees of other NCs to maximize impact

  5. To collaborate with Youth and Education committee on the mutual aid directory.
