Dear City Council Member Staff

<p>I am a constituent writing in strong support of housing in more neighborhoods <strong>by making single-family zoned parcels eligible for the Citywide Housing Incentive Program</strong> (CHIP). This step is crucial to LA’s ambitious goal of producing nearly half a million new housing units, promoting equitable housing, and combating displacement.</p> <p>Now is the time to act. Opening high-opportunity areas to new housing can rectify historic segregation and address our affordability crisis. A blanket exemption for single-family parcels <span style="text-decoration: underline;">severely limits</span> our ability to provide the housing we desperately need and perpetuates displacement.</p> <p>I urge you to vote for a plan that increases opportunities for mixed-income and affordable housing. LA can and should do better than the current draft ordinance. Let’s create a future where everyone has access to safe and affordable housing.</p> <p><br />Thank you for your consideration.</p> <p> </p>
