In Judaism, we believe in Tikkun Olam - a calling to serve humanity and help repair the world. There is no greater service that LA’s faith communities could do than to provide shelter to those suffering on our streets. SB4 would help us do that work. laist.com/news/housing-homel…

To afford to buy a home in Southern California, this housekeeper at two L.A. hotels commutes three hours, sleeps in her car during the week and has her husband commute in so she doesn't fall asleep at the wheel when coming back on weekends latimes.com/california/story…

A bill to limit so-called "crime-free" housing policies in California — the subject of a 2020 Times investigation on their disproportionate effects on Black and Latino tenants — cleared another legislative committee today.
Incredible momentum w/ today’s 10-0 vote in Senate Judiciary Committee for my #ab1418, the Safe & Inclusive Housing Act. Every Californian deserves a safe, inclusive and affordable place to call home. T/y Chair @SenatorUmberg for your support & leadership. #caleg

Should #LA have more than 15 city council seats, and if so, how many? And who should get to draw those district lines? Tune into @SpecNews1SoCal’s #InsideTheIssues w/ @alexcoheninla at Thurs 8pm to nerd out about these important questions being tackled now by our city council.

Hey twitter-friends! Are you an LA transit rider who uses the bus rather than the train when you have both options available? Why do you make that choice?

New @McKinsey report finds that LA's homeless population would top 100,000 by the time the region hosts the Olympics in 2028 if the current rate of 20 more people per day becoming homeless than exiting homelessness continues. mckinsey.com/industries/publ…

The food recovery center that @KitschRich, @LouisForCA and I conceived of, built, and launched is now rescuing 2.5 million pounds of food a year and there are few things that I am more honored to have been a part of. Please donate to @HollywoodFoodCo as they do this amazing work.
