The Unrted to House LA ballot measure arms to create a tax on the ultra-wealthy in order to fund the development of new affordable housing units and reduce homelessness in the City. The measure was put forth by housing and homelessness experts with the intent of protecting renters from illegal harassment and unwarranted rent increases. The ballot measure will serve to enhance the impact of the Anti-Tenant Harassment ordinance approved by the City Coundl in June2021. The oversight, le.gal aid, and emergency assistance for high risk Angelenos wHI not only help keep individuals safe and off the streets, but will also ensure that renters are being treated fairly and with transparency. Even more, United to House LA would work to reduce homelessness by creating a one-Ume tax for millionaires, billionaires_ and corporations during property sale transactions of over $5 million_ The funding is intended to provide immediate housing to those living on the streets, send emergency assistance to low-income seniors on the verge of homelessness, and assist with legal aid for renters in LA The funding provided by United to House LA will be vital to the protection of Angelenos who are at risk of falling into homelessness or remaining on the streets. As such, the Council needs to be prepared for the necessary next steps to implement and enforce the United to House LA measure upon passage. I lHEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct that the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) and the City Administrative Officer, with assqstance from any relevant departments_ to report back ·with a plan and resource needs for the implementation of the United to House LA ballot measure, in the case that it passes in November. PRESENTED B SEP 1 820ft  MOTION HOUSING "' In the past two weeks, Los Angeles has experienced record high heat, with soaring temperatures above the 90s. This last week has been one of the hottest on record for Los Angeles, and for many counties and cities across Southern California. In the San Fernando Valley alone, residents saw temperatures rise to 110 degrees. All over the city, Angelenos are experiencing harsh weather conditions without the necessary equipment to keep them safe and healthy. Scientists predict that this summer's heat wave is a response to a worsening "heat dome" that has no intention of slowing down in upcoming years. These lethal heat levels are a marker of higher average temperatures to come, and the City needs to be prepared to provide relief during times of extreme heat. Residents of low income neighborhoods are most vulnerable to rising temperatures. The Climate Vulnerability Assessment report created by LA County showed that the largest increases in extreme heat will occur in low income neighborhoods and will exacerbate social and economic inequality. Currently, South LA, the Harbor area, and the Northeast San Fernando Valley show much higher emergency room visits during heat waves than the rest of the city. As climate change transforms Southern California, cooling devices will go from being an amenity, to a necessity. While cooling centers are necessary and useful, they are only meant to address the most extreme circumstances. However, as these conditions become more commonplace, everyone should have a home that consistently fosters safe living conditions. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) and City Attorney, to report back on options to amend the current code to require sufficient cooling apparatuses in residential rental units in Los Angeles and potential funding sources. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the LAHD, Chief Heat Officer, and Climate Emergency Mobilization Office (CEMO) to report back on ways that extreme weather events and climate change may impact housing conditions, especially in older units, and any necessary mitigations to ensure safe living conditions across Los Angeles's housing stock. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council request the City Attorney, with assistance from LAHD, to report back with options for actions the City can take to assist tenants who do not have access to functioning cooling apparatuses for an unreasonable period of time despite their leases establishing their access to such apparatuses. I FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Water and Power report back on resources and programs to assist low income households with their energy bills during extreme weather events as well as rebates to buy more energy efficient cooling devices. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Administrative Officer report back on funding sources to assist low income households during extreme weather events such as the Climate Equity Fund. SEP 1 szon SECONDED BY: 7 ~ C>  HOUSING M 0 Tl 0 N In 2020, the City Council implemented a groundbreaking Eviction Defense Program (20-1084) as a response to increased housing insecurity due to the housing crisis and COVID-19 pandemic. Funded by the CARES Act, the Eviction Defense Program included case management services, financial counseling, and homelessness prevention resources to families. In the fiscal years fo!IO\ving the initial launch of the Eviction Defense Program, the City has put together funding to sustain the Program over the last two years from a variety of sources, including federal dollars. These funds were explicitly granted to assist community-based tenant outreach. the Right to CounseL and eviction defense services for tenants . In June 2022. the City Council voted to send the United to House LA measure to the ballot, so that Angelenos have the opportunity to cast their vote on the measure. The United to House LA ballot measure aims to create a tax on the ultra-wealthy in order to fund the development of new affordable housing units and reduce homelessness in the C ity. If passed, the United to House measure woufd provide extensive and ongoing financing to the Eviction Defense Progrnm. The significant funding provided by United to House LA for eviction defense y.fill be instrumental to the protection of renters across the City. The City needs to be prepared for the necessary next steps to make the Eviction Defense Program permanent if the United to House LA measure passes. Since 2020 , the Council has prioritized policies that would prevent mass evictions not only during bmes of emergency. but also on a permanent basis. Jn anticipa1ion of the vote on the United to House LA ballot measure, it is incumbent upon the City Coundl to analyze options for implementing· a perrnanent eviction defense program \.Vith a sufficient stream of funding. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD}, with assistance from all relevant departments, to report back on steps to codify and potentially expand the Eviction Defense Program: the report back should include input from experts in this field, community-based organizations, and advocacy groups. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct LAHD to report back on what the expansion of the Eviction Defense Program would look like with the fonding provided by United to House LA ballot measure, shoufd it pass.
