Community-Police Advisory Boards were created by the Los Angeles Police Department in 1993 to give community mem- bers a vehicle to provide advice to and raise issues about crime and police-community relations with their local police stations. Each of the 21 community police stations has its own CPAB chapter. Southwest CPAB is affiliated to the Southwest Community Police Station, 1546 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90062. Our aim is to identify homeless and problem property locations within Southwest LAPD’s area, roughly from the 10 Freeway on the north to Vernon on the south, and from the Harbor Freeway on the east to La Cienega. We log homeless camps, and locations such as blocked alleys, illegal businesses, and open junk storage. We accept requests from residents to look into such problems. If there appears to be a definite violation we photograph it and report it to the appropriate agency: Homeless outreach teams, Building and Safety, Housing, LAPD, Street Ser- vices, etc. Determination of the validity of this judgment is always made by the professional staffs of these city agencies. We seek help for the homeless from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority and other organiza- tions. If you want to receive these emails (or if you want to unsubscribe) drop us an email at the address below. Homeless and Problem Property Committee chair: Leslie Evans [email protected] 323-574-5586 www.southwestcpab.org Southwest CPAB meets on the first Monday of each month, usually at 6:30 pm. Our meetings are open to the public and you are welcome to attend. The location changes, so drop us an email to get an announcement. Our next meeting date and place are also listed on our website, www.southwestcpab.org. Southwest CPAB is a member of the South Los Angeles Homeless Coalition. This covers the Los Angeles Home- less Services Authority’s Service Planning Area 6 (SPA6), which runs roughly from the 10 Freeway to Compton and Paramount, and from Baldwin Village to the borders of Huntington Park, Vernon, and South Gate.

And while tiny housing dotting a sidewalk might not have been the safest alternative, nor a real substitute for permanent housing, they, at least, offered an interim solution. And interim solutions are crucial. It’s not enough to decry the existence of people living on streets and in parks throughout the area and crammed like war refugees on the sidewalks of Skid Row while the city and county work on their long-term plans.” They added: “Instead of simply saying ‘no’ to tiny houses, the city should take a good look at where and how they might work.” “A tiny roof over one’s head One of Elvis Summers’ Tiny Houses.

  • Community in Property: Lessons from Tiny Homes Villages
    COMMUNITY IN PROPERTY: LESSONS FROM TINY HOMES VILLAGES Lisa T. Alexander* The evolving role of community in property law remains undertheorized. While legal scholars have analyzed the commons, common interest communities, and aspects of the sharing economy, the recent rise of intentional co-housing communities remains relatively understudied. This Article provides a case study of tiny homes villages for the homeless and unhoused, as examples of communities that highlight the growing importance of flexibility and community in contemporary property law. These communities develop new housing tenures and property relationships that challenge the predominance of individualized, exclusionary, long-term, fee simple-ownership in contemporary property law. The villages, therefore, demonstrate property theories that challenge the hegemony of ownership in property law, such as progressive property theory, property as personhood theory, access versus ownership theories, stewardship, and urban commons theories in action. The property forms and relationships these villages create not only ameliorate homelessness, but also illustrate how communal relationships can provide more stability than ownership during times of uncertainty. Due to increasing natural disasters and other unpredictable phenomena, municipalities may find these property forms adaptable and, therefore, useful in mitigating increasing housing insecurity and instability. This case study also provides examples of successful stakeholder collaboration between groups that often conflict in urban redevelopment. These insights reveal a new role for community in property law, and are instructive for American governance and property law and theory. *Copyright © 2019 by Lisa T.

    Skid Row Notes: The Place of Rhetoric As a rhetorician and teacher of composition, I am concerned about the fate Lorien J. Goodman of public discourse; I am concerned about the relevance of rhetorical Pepperdine University studies for our students and our world. This concern has led me to look to the conditions of possibility for public discourse, conditions that I am increasingly discerning in the realms of architecture, city planning, and public policy, and in the ever-widening gap between rich and poor. As a print version result of ten years of Service Learning teaching and a semester long sabbatical in Los Angeles's Skid Row, I have begun to take seriously the rhetorical nature of our built environment and the need to actively engage our situatedness in material, physical place. For me, this has become my ethical obligation as a rhetorician and teacher. My response to questions of the relationship between composition and rhetoric always includes reference to John Trimbur's exchange with Maxine Hairston in 1993 in which he argued that rhetoric and the rhetorical teaching of composition is primarily about participation in civic discourse and democracy. His comments became a benchmark for my own teaching and opened a way for me to bring my classroom alive, to motivate myself and my students to conceive of writing as action, to consider rhetorical composition a vital force in public life. The Hairston-Trimbur exchange was fundamentally concerned with the nature of the place of composition: Hairston arguing for a protected, safe place for student exploration and experimentation, and Trimbur arguing that rhetoric called us out of place, out of our comfortable academic space, and into the world of conflict and action.

REBECCA COLEMAN CLIENT REPORT Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF CITY PLANNING in the Department of City and Regional Planning of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY APPROVED Linda Gardner, Housing Director, Alameda County Community Development Agency Karen Chapple, Professor, City and Regional Planning at the University of California at Berkeley Carol Galante, Professor, City and Regional Planning at the University of California at Berkeley Date: Spring 2018 Executive Summary Alameda County is experiencing a homelessness crisis, and interest in tiny houses as a possible and limited way to address the issue is increasing. While over a dozen tiny house villages have been developed across the U.S. to address homelessness, questions remain about the extent to which they are helpful in Alameda County, a high density and costly region. This report explores the application of tiny houses to Alameda County by providing background information about tiny houses for homeless individuals, including a brief history of tiny houses in the U.S. and the contemporary tiny house movement. The report next discusses the tiny house for homeless village model, including components of a successful village, challenges and opportunities for tiny house villages, and recent legislation and trends. Applications of the model are discussed, including micro-apartments, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), and mobile homes. Finally, case studies of tiny house projects that are developed or underway in Oakland, Berkeley, and Hayward are presented.

  • Narrowing the Definition of “Dwelling” Under the Fair Housing Act
    NARROWING THE DEFINITION OF “DWELLING” UNDER THE FAIR HOUSING ACT * Karen Wong The Fair Housing Act was enacted in order to protect certain groups against discrimination in housing. The Act extends this protection to any “dwelling,” but its coverage is not well defined for nontraditional sleeping facilities such as homeless shelters, substance abuse treatment facilities, or tent cities. Courts have applied the Fair Housing Act to any residence—defined by one court as “a temporary or permanent dwelling place, abode or habitation to which one intends to return as distinguished from the place of temporary sojourn or transient visit.” Courts have generally focused on occupants’ length of stay as the determinative factor in examin- ing the scope of the dwelling requirement in the Act. Homeless shelters and battered women’s shelters have long been operated on a single-sex basis, and some shelters place restrictions on familial status. However, current law is still unclear on whether such facilities are subject to the prohibition on familial status and sex discrimination under the Fair Housing Act. The Ninth Circuit recently declared a single-sex men’s homeless shelter to be in violation of the Fair Housing Act. If adopted by other circuits, this holding would require the restructuring of many shelters to accommodate both sexes, expose shelters to costly litigation likely resulting in closures and reduced services to the homeless, and reduce further the privacy and security of shelter guests. In this Comment, I argue that courts’ focus on length of stay is too narrow and present an alternative test for dwellings under the Fair Housing Act.
