Why do you need state approval for a proposed LA County agency?

^^ only the state can create an agency like this

You mentioned the Housing Element, increasing the planned construction and preservation of affordable housing, and ACT LA. What specifically are you looking to improve in the Housing Element and what proposed mechanism will be used to get the improvements?

Compton Does not having anything in for homeless, ie. emergency shelter, interim/bridge I have been fighting with them for over three years I need someone to get in the fight with me is this the correct forum

Val Carlson, End Homelessness Now-LA

What is the fit & coordination between EI, UW and partners initiatives relative to the strategy reassessment that LA County Homeless Initiative is doing now?

Linda Jackson West Covina Tenants' Union, is there anything in place that allows SB 679 to be added to each cities Housing Element and make them more doable? Considering this a work in progress and many cities no longer have the personell to specifically seek ou funding sources and developers

@MariaAguilar I resonate with that. Community info. Sessions and materials in multiple languages. Important point!

@Phillip: at the end of this webpage you’ll find our letters regarding the City and County Housing Elements which details our policy asks and the proposed mechanisms: http://allianceforcommunitytransit.org/housing-element/

RHNA - regional housing needs assessment

^^ and Our Future LA is doing coordinated work in other cities as Mike is saying

Definitely agree, Val!

Also want to echo Val and Mike in the challenge of getting policymakers to prioritize permanent > interim

Yes so true @Zeke. It is quite the challenge and one that is not lost on us. We are also very actively working on (and have been working on for a couple of years) the continuing criminalization of our unhoused neighbors. Keep an eye out on our social for calls to action around that
