L.A.’s spending plan to help renters comes nearly 10 months after Angelenos voted for the so-called “mansion tax.”
Nearly 10 months after Angelenos voted for a so-called “mansion tax” to fund affordable housing and homelessness prevention programs, the Los Angeles City Council voted 10-0 on Tuesday, Aug. 29, to approve a plan for spending the first $150 million in Measure ULA funds.
. Others who owe COVID-related unpaid rent incurred between October 2021 and January of this year have until Feb. 1 to pay what they owe.Maria Briones, a member of Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, an organization that belongs to the United to House LA coalition, said she represents the typical renter who would benefit from ULA-funded programs. She spoke during a rally and press conference outside of City Hall on Tuesday, ahead of the council vote.
Joe Donlin, director of United to House LA, the coalition that led the campaign to pass Measure ULA, said the city has experienced the worst affordable housing and homelessness crises in the nation. He called Tuesday’s vote by the council “a big day for L.A.” Councilmember Nithya Raman, who led Tuesday’s rally and press conference, said afterward that while the COVID-related back rent repayment deadline had added to the urgency of addressing Angelenos’ housing needs, eviction filings occurred even before Aug. 1.
