The Los Angeles City Council approved a proposed funding plan to use Measure ULA dollars to fund tenant protection programs including rental assistance and new construction of more affordable housing. This $150 million expenditure plan includes: short-term emergency assistance program that will allow low-income tenants apply for up to six months owed back rent; an eviction defense/prevention program that will provide legal services and community outreach; tenant outreach and education program; tenant harassment programs; rental subsidies and move-in assistance to low-income seniors and people with disabilities; and multifamily affordable housing development to increase affordable housing units. This money will help aid some of the most vulnerable communities in our City from being evicted and falling into homelessness. For more information, please click here.
