Westside for Everyone is a community of neighbors on the westside fighting for real solutions to our housing crisis.

Let’s create a more affordable, sustainable and welcoming community where everyone on the Westside can afford to live, work, grow and contribute.

 

Mission Statement

Westside For Everyone believes that home is the key to creating a better Los Angeles for everyone. Together we learn, identify transformative solutions, and take action together to make change.

 

Our Values

We envision a Westside where decisions about housing reflect shared values of our community:

  • Welcoming. We believe that families, young adults, and seniors all deserve the opportunity to thrive here.

  • Resilient. We believe in planning for a climate resilient future, where people can live sustainably.

  • Quality of Life. We believe that Westsiders deserve quality of life, with walkable neighborhoods and where people can afford to start a business, raise kids, or retire here.

What We Want

We are coming together to ask Los Angeles leaders to plan for a future where all Angelenos can afford a home.

We believe that:

  • Our community will benefit from homes in all shapes, sizes and price points so that people can afford to stay here over time.

  • We need homes that are near public transportation and in walking distance from community amenities like parks, shops, and schools.

Who We Are

We are a volunteer-driven, grassroots-supported group that was formed by neighbors in 2019.

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.
