LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The Los Angeles City Council today unanimously passed a resolution to support a state Assembly bill to establish a Homeless Prevention Fund and create a statewide framework for providing eviction prevention services and legal assistance to renters. By adopting this resolution, we join forces with a ride range of Los Angeles housing and renter advocates in calling for an allocation of at least $200 million in the state of California s 2021-22 budget for eviction defense programs, said Councilman Bob Blumenfield, who introduced the resolution.
The bill is supported by the Alliance for California Community Empowerment, the Coalition for Economic Survival, East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice, the Housing Rights Center, the Inner City Law Center and more, he added.
