Important Action Alert
HAS THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES DECLARED WAR ON RENTERS?

See this new, important section for information on the Los Angeles ordinance proposal, and the action you need to take.
The Sober Living Network and the Los Angeles County Sober Living Coalition are actively opposing this ordinance. Our letter to the Planning Commission, highlighting serious legal questions, is online. Read it here.
