OUR HISTORY
Faced with the constant evictions and increasing construction of luxury buildings in our city, coupled with the verbal abuse and illegal evictions faced by many defenseless tenants by unfair landlords and managers, a group of volunteers decided to take action. We reflected on how to empower our community in the face of these injustices and founded the organization Comunidad Empoderando Los Angeles (CELA).
Our goal is to educate the community through workshops on tenants' rights and responsibilities, offering counseling, referrals, and the collaboration of attorneys. In this way, tenants will be better prepared to face a possible eviction.
AN EDUCATED COMMUNITY IS AN EMPOWERED COMMUNITY!!!!
