Regional Roundtable Discusses Priorities for 2023

San Fernado Valley members gathered virtually for the last Regional Roundtable of the year! Members discussed some of the issue priorities they are focused on heading into 2023, including finding ways to help tenants bring their employees to the office and developing relationships with local officials. 
 
On that note, attending members emphasized the importance of members coming together to advocate on their issues. Having many voices speak about an issue consistently is how change happens. We look forward to seeing more members at our 2023 regional events!  

Thank you to Whitestone Industries for its sponsorship of this event.

ELECTIONS
New Supervisor for the West San Fernando Valley

The West San Fernando Valley has a new LA County Supervisor after the results of the November General Election. Former West Hollywood City Councilmember Lindsey Horvath is the new Supervisor for District Three.  

She defeats the longtime Valley State Senator Bob Herzberg in the race to replace retiring Supervisor Sheila Kuehl. We look forward to developing a working relationship with Supervisor Horvath on behalf of our members in the coming months.  

Additionally, Sheriff Villaneuva lost his bid for reelection to former Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna.

COMMUNITY
With over 100 buildings participating this year, we had our work cut out for us at the Annual Holiday Drive Sort Day on December 10th. Even the early morning couldn't stop our committee and all the volunteers who showed up to make a difference.

Thank you for your passion and support!

LA City Council Recommends Motion to Address RV Encampments

The Los Angeles City Council has recommended a motion that will look to rehouse people experiencing recreational vehicle (RV) homelessness. 

Although this year’s homeless count suggested that homelessness has slowed down, RVs used as encampments have rapidly been increasing.
