Abundant Housing LA

LA County has finished counting all the signatures YOU helped us collect over the past year in support of: affordable housing, mental health and addiction services, and government accountability in keeping people housed and out of homelessness! While the Board of Supervisors still needs to officially add the measure to the ballot in early July, the registrar’s office has confirmed that The Affordable Housing, Homelessness Solutions and Prevention Now Measure has enough signatures to be placed on the ballot this coming November 🎉 Abundant Housing LA is proud to support this ambitious measure to ensure that our communities have the resources necessary to build more affordable housing and prevent homelessness.

Los Angeles cannot meet its state-mandated housing production and equity goals while walling off single family neighborhoods from new housing. We are proud to co-lead a coalition of 45 diverse organizations, with Inner City Law Center and Southern California Association of NonProfit Housing (SCANPH), calling on the city to reverse patterns that have led to segregation and displacement by opening up exclusionary communities via the Citywide Housing Incentive Program.

April is National Fair Housing Month! For decades, systemic redlining, restrictive covenants, and segregation restricted many from accessing meaningful, fair housing. We're proud to sponsor AB 2667, introduced by Asm. Miguel Santiago, to strengthen state law around Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing as the fight towards fair housing continues. 🏡 Learn more about National Fair Housing Month: https://www.hud.gov/FHM 📃 Learn more about AB 2667: https://lnkd.in/gEJ4cRCk #fairhousing #losangeles #ab2667

In 2024 nothing seems to be immune to the reach of AI-powered techniques. At the same time, our most urgent societal challenge is ensuring shelter for our unsheltered and housing insecure neighbors. Could AI technologies help us to accelerate development of housing for Los Angeles? Does AI help us to make better informed choices in urban planning? Is a rapid visualization of design concepts building a stronger community engagement? What are the opportunities that AI technologies offer - and what are the potential risks? Join us on Thursday, March 21st Helms Bakery District as our panelists bring diverse perspectives on the application of AI in government, public policy, venture capital, startups, housing development, and urban design. Our question to them was this: Does Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning offer us a path to improve urban development? Come find out what the leading minds have to say. #westsideurbanforum #artificialintelligence #urbandevelopment

❤️🖤💚 For our final Urban Visionaries Thursdays of #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate Karen Bass's impactful contributions to housing equity in Los Angeles! Mayor Bass has been at the forefront of housing initiatives, from recently announcing the Housing for All Act with Senator Alex Padilla and Congressman Ted Lieu to securing resources for eviction defense and multifamily affordable housing. Under her leadership, thousands of emergency housing vouchers have been utilized to provide permanent housing for unhoused Angelenos, and working groups have been organized to identify surplus land for affordable housing development. Most notably for us, Mayor Bass has successfully enacted Executive Directive 1 (ED1) as soon as she took office. ED1 expedites 100% affordable housing projects, simplifying a complex approval process. ED1 has seen the approval of more affordable units than any other policy in the past decade. Though tasked with the challenge that is Los Angeles’s housing landscape, Mayor Bass's commitment to addressing homelessness and increasing affordable housing production has been successful and remains unwavering. Let's honor her work and continue the fight for housing justice in Los Angeles as we head to the polls for the presidential primaries to vote for more pro-housing leaders on March 5th! 🌟🏙️ See our other honorees throughout the month on our Instagram page! https://lnkd.in/gx2MXgxf #UrbanVisionariesThursdays #HousingEquity #BlackHistoryMonth
