LIVE ·2023 Grants ChallengePower + Permanence for LA's Eastside
In March 2023, Los Angeles's emergency Covid-19 renter protections officially ended. As a result, struggling residents like those on LA's Eastside who are among those worst-impacted by the economic blows of the pandemic are now faced with fresh threats of eviction. Through youth and community-led advocacy at the City and County, InnerCity Struggle (ICS) will work urgently to institutionalize a permanent Tenant Bill of Rights (TBoR) in support of all LA's low-income renters to have the choice to remain where they are already at home.
