This morning, while LA Voice leaders in Washington D.C. met with our National Leadership, Kelsy Jarboe and other LA Voice leaders headed to City Hall to attend an important meeting.
Housing LA and the broad array of residents from all parts of the city, attended a joint  meeting with two key City Council Committees to remind our City Council Members of the urgency and need for affordable housing in Los Angeles.

LA Voice Clergy Leader, Sister Karen Collier of St. Agatha's Catholic Church in mid-city, testified, with many others, about the pressing need in communities for decent and affordable housing. As Council Members listened attentively, testimony after testimony revealed the dire need of the City to address it's Housing Crisis. From Electricians to Accountants and from Nurses to formerly Homeless residents, all levels of the City shared their compelling stories to illustrate the urgency of passing a strong Mixed-Income Housing Policy that would bridge the gaps in Los Angeles.

Given the grim state of the economy, and the struggles families face all across Los Angeles, LA Voice Leaders are committed to advocating for a strong Mixed-Income Housing Ordinance that would transform the way Angelenos live in LA.

Thank you all for your continued support. We couldn't have come this far without you.
