RE: Status of Evictions in Los Angeles in light of Covid-19

Evicting people from their homes in the midst of this pandemic is cruel and jeopardizes public health. Recognizing this, and recognizing that requiring tenants, landlords, and their lawyers to go through the eviction process would not allow for social distancing, the Los Angeles Superior Court, the Governor of California, the Mayor of Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles City Council and County Board of Supervisors have taken emergency action to limit evictions throughout Los Angeles for at least the next month. This memo summarizes the impact of those actions on the eviction process in Los Angeles as of noon on March 19, 2020.

We know this is a uniquely challenging time for our community--for our clients, our staff, ourselves, our agencies, and our city/county/country. The Coalition would like to be a support in whatever ways we can--we are in this together as one.

As a start, we have compiled information from multiple sources and it into one place with information on updates, resources, etc. We also plan to have our regular meeting by Zoom on April 10--agenda will be sent beforehand.

ALSO--we know that some shelters, food banks, and access centers are very short of food and cleaning supplies. Please let us know if you 1) have a source for food and/or supplies or 2) if you are in dire need of these things or anything else. We will work to connect folks with one another and/or any other resources that come up.
