Los Angeles for Resilient and Healthy Homes (LARHH, formerly Leap/RePower LA) is a coalition of labor, environmental, and housing justice organizations advocating for equitable residential building decarbonization in Los Angeles.
We believe that eliminating carbon dioxide emissions is a critical step in making L.A. healthier and more resilient for all, and that our homes are a great place to start. But as government begins to mandate new clean energy standards for the buildings Angelenos live in, we must ensure these policies:
Benefit communities of color and low-income communities, which have historically been most impacted by environmental pollution and the detrimental effects of climate change
Do not hurt tenants by making rents more expensive, triggering evictions and displacement, or taking rent-controlled units off the market
Create family-sustaining union jobs, prioritize local and targeted hiring, and develop the next generation of climate workers
