Join CaRLA

Be a part of our Avocado Watch Network. No one can be in every city hall at once. But all of us can, together.

Every year, the California state legislature drafts thousands of bills, many of which are aimed at addressing our state’s housing crisis. Not every bill becomes a law, but those that do are meaningless without our enforcement work.

For a scrappy team of four, we’re punching far above our own weight. Doing so takes staff time, legal fees, research hours, and lots of other resources.
