8 leading Los Angeles homeless advocates agree: The so-called Neighborhood Integrity Initiative "DISASTROUS" for the homeless. Read the open letter here.
The Neighborhood Integrity Initiative is a housing ban that would indefinitely ban most new housing in Los Angeles, increasing rents, destroying jobs, and making the homeless problem even worse.
We need more, not less, housing. By reverting to decades-old density requirements, it makes it virtually impossible to build new, adequate, and affordable housing.
This initiative will block efforts to build more homeless housing, forcing more families from their homes by dramatically increasing housing costs.
By severely restricting the supply of housing in Los Angeles, it will increase demand exponentially - dramatically increasing rents and pricing out middle and working class renters and homeowners.
By arbitrarily shutting down all major construction projects in the city, it will eliminate hundreds of thousands of working and middle class jobs, throwing L.A.’s economy into a tailspin.
The Neighborhood Integrity Initiative would stop the building of just about everything, from housing for the homeless, to hospitals, schools, and parks, and would cost taxpayers millions of dollars.
Its consequences are so severe that the broadest coalition in the history of Los Angeles is coming together to oppose it.
We are:
• United Way of Greater Los Angeles
• Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
• Eli Broad, Philanthropist
• Inner City Law Center
• Southern California Association of Non-Profit Housing
• Covenant House California
