Immediately
restore All Federal Government affordable housing program funding to
comparable 1978 allocation levels. With an emphasis on HUD's Public
Housing and Project-based Section 8, USDA new unit construction, and
the National Housing Trust Fund program.
Enact a
moratorium on the demolition, conversion or destruction of ANY
publicly funded units until federal law guarantees one for one
replacement at existing affordability rates.
Ensure adequate
funding for operations of public housing to prevent unit loss, high
vacancy rates, and substandard living conditions.
On CIVIL RIGHTS:
Stop police and
business improvement zone programs that enforce “nuisance crimes” or
“quality of life crimes.” These programs criminalize and remove
homeless, poor, people of color, and disabled members of our
communities.
Call for DOJ to
respond to LA community request for investigation of discriminatory
police enforcement under the Safer Cities Initiative that targets
homeless, poor, people of color and disabled community residents.
Ensure that the
more than 914,000 homeless children in our public schools are able to
stay at their “home school” are fully integrated with their housed
peers and are provided the support they need to learn and thrive.
Stop any and all
questions regarding a person’s immigration status when they are
requesting healthcare, emergency shelter or services
