As devastating fires rage across Southern Cali, we're working to monitor the situation and stay in touch with our colleagues on the ground. The incredible @LISC_LA team, headed by ED Nicole Williams, is currently safe (some of them have evacuated, others have lost power). [1/3]

A new #LA law now allows religious institutions to cut red tape to build #AffordableHousing. If you’re a faith-based institution, capital is available to build “Homes in God’s Backyard.” @dakotacdsmith @LISC_LA latimes.com/california/story…

Affordable housing on church parking lots? A new law makes it easier to build

In L.A., which has little vacant land, sky-high rents and many homeless people, affordable housing proponents see religious institutions as an untapped resource.

Talking with housing advocates, experts, & changemakers @housingca’s conference. CA’s housing crisis is unsustainable, unjust, & unacceptable. At California DOJ, we refuse to accept the unacceptable. Our Housing Justice Team works every day to do our part to solve this crisis.
