Formed in 2019, we are neighbors on the westside fighting for real solutions to our housing crisis.
We're building the movement for a more affordable, sustainable and inclusive community where everyone on the Westside can afford to live, work, grow and contribute.
Mission Statement
Westside For Everyone is a community that believes meaningful access to quality housing will create a better Los Angeles for everyone. Together we learn, identify solutions, and mobilize for transformative change.
Our Vision
We envision a Westside where housing affordability doesn’t get in the way of what the westside has to offer.
We want to live in a community that reflects the values we have today, not the exclusionary practices of decades past. When we all come together, we can redesign the Westside to be inclusive, affirmative and nurturing for our community members, present and future. We believe all Westside residents deserve the opportunity to live here from childhood to aging in place, and that welcoming immigrants and BIPOC means allowing them space to live.
We believe that the climate crisis demands walkable communities and housing near public transportation and jobs to reduce the need for personal cars,the #1 cause of carbon emissions in California.
We are coming together to ask Los Angeles leaders to plan for a future where all of us have a home.
Why It Matters
An inclusive community needs housing options that work for everyone.
More residents on the Westside are spending bigger portions of their earnings on housing, leaving less for things like child care, food, and healthcare. Our community will benefit from homes in all shapes, sizes and price points so that people can afford to create a home and stay here over time.
Who We Are
We are a volunteer-driven, grassroots-supported group that was formed by neighbors.
Together, we are students, parents, renters, homeowners, small business owners, nonprofit workers, native Angelenos, immigrants.
Most importantly, we are community members who share a vision for a more affordable and accessible Westside and Los Angeles.
