On the Front Lines of the Housing Crisis

Calling for L.A.’s homeless and affordable housing crisis to be tackled with urgent action

In Los Angeles…

One third of Angelenos spend more than half their income on rent

57,000 people live in the streets and shelters in L.A. County – a 75% increase since 2012.

600,000 units are needed to meet demand of lower-income renters.

L.A.’s skyrocketing housing costs have made it one of the most expensive places to live in the nation – worse than San Francisco, Seattle and New York. Most residents can’t afford to buy a house and rents are the least affordable they’ve ever been. More and more families are just one paycheck away from being forced into homelessness.

The LABC is on the front lines of this issue. We advocate for ways to expedite construction and improve financing of new affordable housing units. We produce new research on how the high cost of housing is burdening employers and threatening our workforce. We convene leaders and build coalitions dedicated to ending the housing affordability crisis and securing the long-term viability of our economy.
