Our collective activism and philanthropic support has powered another major victory! The Board of Supervisors recently approved a motion for permanent rent stabilization in Unincorporated L.A. County.
This is the largest expansion of rent stabilization in almost forty years.
We are proud that Liberty Hill’s grantmaking, activist training, and alliance-building fueled the organizing that made this victory a reality. Read more and watch a new video on our website.

By Michele Prichard, Senior Director of Environmental Justice, Liberty Hill
Some of my earliest work as a budding activist in Los Angeles in the 80's is surprisingly parallel to a critical discussion that has emerged over the last year nationally, and here in Los Angeles, around the “Green New Deal” and the concept of “Just Transition.”
Learn more about "Just Transition" in our latest blog post.

Liberty Hill recently teamed up with the Los Angeles County Division of Youth Diversion and Development, the Los Angeles County My Brother’s Keeper Initiative, and other funders and county partners, to host the first Los Angeles County Youth Development Summit. This event brought together more than 500 individuals, including elected officials, nonprofit leaders, researchers and youth to discuss solutions and strategies for creating the largest youth development and pre-arrest diversion system in the country. Learn more about the work in progress and watch a video on the road ahead.
