Make Your Voice Heard:
Say NO to Inclusionary Housing!
On August 4, 2020 the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will hear the County's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. This policy was made worse at the County Planning Commission in April. We are disappointed that amid a housing crisis, and now a global health pandemic, that the County will be moving forward with this Ordinance.

Click the button below to send a letter to the Supervisors asking them to vote NO on the Ordinance. Now is not the time to increase costs and hurdles to build housing!
