Movie in the Park Event Update |
|
Our Movie in the Park event last Saturday, June 11th was well attended. San Pedro families came out to enjoy the Disney film Encanto on the big screen. The Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council booth provided free popcorn in so many delicious flavors and attendees were generous in providing packages of socks to donate to our unhoused neighbors. Also on site was staff from the Nature Preserve and a food truck providing other goodies. Over 200 people were in attendance. A special thank you to the NWSPNC Outreach Team that helped make this a very successful and fun event.

In December 2021, the State launched the California Mortgage Relief Program to provide assistance to homeowners who fell behind on their housing payments due to financial hardships they experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program is funded by the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act’s Homeowner Assistance Fund and administered by the California Housing Finance Agency Homeowner Relief Corporation. The California Mortgage Relief Program is expanding to help homeowners who may be current on their mortgage payments but are delinquent on property tax payments. Eligible homeowners could receive up to $20,000 to cover past-due property tax payments. There is no cost to apply, and the funds never have to be paid back.

Gerald Desmond Bridge Demolition to Begin in July |
|
Demolition of the Gerald Desmond Bridge in the Port of Long Beach is scheduled to start in July with the removal of the section of the span suspended over the Back Channel, requiring a 48-hour closure of the channel to all watercraft traffic.
The Back Channel will be closed to vessels from 6 a.m. Saturday, July 9, to 6 a.m., Monday, July 11, as the bridge’s 410-foot-long suspended span is dismantled and lowered onto a barge. The Gerald Desmond Bridge has been closed to vehicle traffic since early October 2020 when its replacement opened. Vehicle traffic on the replacement bridge will not be affected by the demolition of the old span. READ MORE

City Council Adopts Targeted Amendments
to the 2021-2029 Housing Element
|
|
On Tuesday, June 14, 2022, the Los Angeles City Council adopted the targeted amendments to the 2021-2029 Housing Element (Council File No. 21-1230-S1).
Los Angeles City Planning and the Los Angeles Housing Department are proud to have worked together to promptly address feedback received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and prepare revisions to programs to address the new Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) requirements. We thank stakeholders for their participation in the revision and input, which helped to inform the targeted amendments to the 2021-2029 Housing Element.
The amended Housing Element was provided to HCD immediately after its adoption for review and certification. Following certification, work will continue to focus on developing and implementing the ambitious programs identified in the 2021-2029 Housing Element. These efforts will include continued engagement and outreach opportunities. To stay engaged with Planning Department implementation programs sign up for the department newsletter here.

|
Los Angeles, June 14, 2022 – LA Animal Services is one of thousands of shelters across the country experiencing an increase in intake of medium to large size dogs.
