    Tenant Empowered Affordable Housing Preservation

    LiBRE empowers tenants with the resources, moral support, and innovative solutions needed to avoid displacement through Know Your Rights workshops, Neighborhood Tenant Council meetings, and our involvement in the creation of Long Beach’s first Community Land Trust. Our members are educated on tenants' rights, housing policy, and advocacy and are making a difference in their neighborhoods already!
