Join me tomorrow at the Housing Heroes awards!
Hey friends,
I'd love for you to join me tomorrow night for the 2026 Housing Hero Awards in support of Abundant Housing LA's vital work to build a Los Angeles that everyone can afford.

I'm honored to be receiving a Housing Hero award from Abundant Housing Los Angeles alongside fellow housing leaders LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, and Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson.
I am approaching a year and a half since I was elected to be your Councilmember, and we have accomplished a lot since.
Became the first city in California to enable single stair reform, enabling more homes on small lots (i.e. walk-up residential buildings like you see in NYC).
Funded and began construction on the 2nd (and the largest) 100% affordable housing project in the City’s history, providing 93 homes for low income families.
Approved the beginning of an SB-79 plan that will unlock thousands more homes nera major transit stops.
Became the 6th city in California to legalized buying and selling ADUs separately, unlocking naturally affordable homes for small families.
Approved a seven-story, 67-unit 100% affordable project, replacing a former gun store.
Approved lot-splitting ordinance, allowing up to 10 homes on a single family lot.
Expedited projects with 20% or more affordable homes, approving more homes, faster.
Your continued support of my work in City Hall means the world to me and is the only reason we have been able to make such meaningful progress this year.
I’d be delighted to celebrate these major wins with you on this special evening.
I hope to see you there!
