Organizations Filed Purposes:
To provide legal services to low- and moderate-income residents of the geographic region including and surrounding Los Angeles County and organize such residents for purposes including, but not limited to, leadership training, civic engagement, and collective action.
Legal services: Over the fiscal year 5/1/19-4/30/20, the Los Angeles Center for Community Law and Action ("LACCLA") was focused primarily on representation of low-income clients in cases related to fair housing, tenants' rights and eviction defense. LACCLA represented dozens families and individuals in housing-related proceedings, including cases related to fair housing, retaliatory eviction, and breach of the warranty of habitability. LACCLA also tried cases in support of individual tenants and tenant associations and unions throughout Southern California. LACCLA's goal is to leverage legal services to preserve and promote safe and affordable housing, especially for very low-income people, in and around Los Angeles County.
Organizing: The Los Angeles Center for Community Law and Action ("LACCLA") engages in community canvassing and hosts weekly community meetings and legal clinics to grow its base and organize around particular issues and campaigns. LACCLA's weekly community meetings are held Saturdays at 4:00pm and provide an opportunity for groups of approximately 80 weekly attendees to consider issues, and particularly housing issues, impacting Los Angeles County and to devise coherent strategies to resolve problems that affect their community. LACCLA's weekly meetings end with a legal clinic. LACCLA's attorneys perform intake for new prospective clients who are attending a LACCLA meeting for the first time, and follow up with clients who have questions that are easily addressed at a short clinic, rather than in a longer appointment during the week. LACCLA's weekly meetings and legal clinics were hosted during the last fiscal year in donated space at Casa Del Mexicano in Los Angeles and run for approximately 2 hours.
Programming: LACCLA's primary work involves the provision of legal services and issue-area or case-specific organizing. Beyond these two areas of focus, its flagship programs are its weekly reading group and weekly women's-group meeting. Each group has approximately 10 core members and has read and shared insight about a range of readings and ideas. The groups are vital to LACCLA's vision in that it provides clients and other who consistently participate in LACCLA's Saturday meetings with an outlet to exchange ideas in a relaxed environment, having little to do, at least on its face, with the practical minutiae and concerns of an organizing campaign.
