Over the years, @vchcorp and @hollywoodhousing have been working on the Venice Dell Community—a project that would provide supportive services and 140 affordable apartments. We need the @mayorofla to take action to ensure the Venice Dell Community can move forward and get built

We NEED Venice Dell Community💙 In addition to safe & affordable homes, residents will have access to employment services, health services, case management and so many more resources. THIS is how we end homelessness 🙌🏽

It’s time to invest in our neighborhoods that have historically been divested from and disinvested in. Let’s start by providing the most vulnerable and low-income communities in LA County with the resources they need: permanently affordable housing.

We're happy that ED1 removes barriers to help expedite new affordable housing production and we support Mayor Karen Bass efforts to dust off City Hall. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

But at the same time, we're also very concerned that projects like Venice Community Housing Venice Dell Community apartments are being actively sabotaged by the LA City Attorney and TraciParkforLA (latimes.com/opinion/story/…)

From helping establish a regional agency dedicated to affordable housing and tenant protections to advocating for housing justice policies, we’ve done a lot these past few years! But we know that building a LA County that's accountable to its communities will take much more work.
