Every Angeleno should be able to build a life here without being priced out of their neighborhood. Growing up, I watched my mom come home after a long day of cleaning houses to bills that ate into every paycheck. No matter how many hours she put in, rising housing costs, grocery prices, and skyrocketing utility bills meant that our family sacrificed a lot in order to make it through the week. Too many families face those same struggles—and worse. We need real solutions to reduce the cost of living.

That’s why I’ll champion:

• Affordable housing that protects tenants and prevents displacement.

• Mixed use housing that supports businesses and housing needs

• Rental relief and utility support programs to help families stay housed.

• Childcare and afterschool programs that give working families the support they need.

We must build a city where families can feel proud to call home without struggling to survive.
