Position In Brief:
Support of measures which lead to equality of opportunity for adequate housing.
- The following policies and actions should be promoted and encouraged:
- Affirmative actions by citizens and government which promote freedom from discrimination in housing;
- Programs and policies that extend the supply of adequate housing and the choice of community for lower income residents;
- Efforts to strengthen citizen understanding and support;
- Cooperation and coordination among agencies of local government that affect housing supply; and
- Alternatives to increase the housing supply in Los Angeles such as boarding houses, house-sharing, mobile homes and refurbishing industrial buildings.
- Demolition of low income housing units should be curtailed unless comparable low income units replace those that are demolished.
- Subsidized housing programs should reflect the goal of adequate housing for low income residents in every community.
- Mortgage revenue bonds should be issued by the city, with priority given to low/moderate income family housing, owner occupied. Regulations preventing speculation should accompany any loans.
- The General Plan and land-use ordinances should reflect the goals of adequate housing for a range of income levels in all communities.
