Housing Leadership academy

In 2023, LA Forward Institute launched six-month leadership development fellowship to support San Gabriel Valle community members to become stronger advocates for affordable housing and housing justice. More than 20 community members came together for in-person learning/site visits one Saturday each month, with each of these gatherings bridged together by a syllabus of readings and activities that community members can complete remotely, individually, or in small groups. Our goal is to expand the number of committed, informed, networked, and skilled community leaders for affordable housing and housing justice across LA County.
