A beautiful Saturday to spend in #AD39! This morning I hosted Capitol on the Corner at the Target Store Pacoima. It was great to see many community members stop by and learn about the various services and upcoming events in the community! Thank you Reuben for having us. Later in the day I spent some time at Groundwork Coffee Co. in #NorthHollywood to share information about the services my office provides. Thank you Amanda for working with my staff on this hot summer day! I look forward to continuing to host pop up mobile district offices in the #community! #Pacoima #NoHo

My priority remains tackling the affordable housing crisis, finding ways to increase the availability of affordable housing units, and removing restrictions to make it easier and cheaper to build housing. I am disheartened and deeply concerned about the growing affordability problem -- no person or family should fear or experience homelessness at the rate that we are. The legislature is expected to take up several bills in the coming weeks, and I look forward to being part of the discussion and voting on proposed legislation aimed at increasing resources. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-hud-rent-study-20170809-story.html
