Proudly serving Los Angeles City Council District 4
It has been an honor to chair the Housing & Homelessness Committee and fight for a Los Angeles where renters are protected, our City’s homelessness response is transparent and accountable, and every available housing resource reaches the people who need it.
Yesterday, our office was alerted to antisemitic graffiti that had been tagged onto a utility box in Los Feliz. My team immediately drove out to the area and moved quickly to remove the hateful markings while preserving the community artwork underneath.
Last week, in partnership with Hope the Mission and The Village Family Services, we proudly opened the doors to our newest shelter in Council District 4: The Oaks, a new home for transition age youth right here in Encino! 🏡
We're excited to share that construction on the Studio City Rec Center is now entering its final phase! Beginning today, August 3, access to the park from Landale Street will be temporarily closed through the remainder of construction.
⚽️That’s a wrap on Fútbol for the People! This free community watch party series was a reminder of what makes LA special: when we come together, our parks become places of jubilation and belonging, our neighborhoods become communities, and we all grow a little closer in the place we call home.
Our CD4 Homelessness Team — the first of its kind in the city — builds trust in the field, connects one-on-one with folks in encampments, tracks results with service providers, and helps people navigate the path from the street to permanent housing.

Wildfire Day:LA, hosted in partnership with @mysafela, @losangelesfiredepartment, @hhfsc_, @theautry, and @lazoo, was a fantastic, free community event bringing together families, first responders, and preparedness partners for a powerful (and fun!) day of learning and connection.
It was a joy to join hundreds of neighbors from across the San Fernando Valley at SFV Pride this weekend! As Pride Month comes to a close, I'm grateful to everyone who continues to build a Los Angeles where every person can live openly, safely, and out loud everyday. 🏳️🌈
Today, joined by his friends and family in City Hall and at home, we adjourned Council in honor of David Codell, one of the most consequential civil rights litigators of his generation, who passed away at the age of 57. It is clear David touched the lives of so many, and he will be dearly missed.

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day enslaved Black Americans in Texas learned they were free. As we honor this day, we recognize the generations of Black Americans whose resilience, leadership, and culture have shaped our district, our city, and our nation.

When we asked Studio City businesses and neighbors what Ventura Place needed most, two priorities came up again and again: more parking and a safer street. We’re excited to share that we’ve delivered on those priorities.
Today in Council, I was proud to congratulate @lacorps on 40 years of service to our city. CD4 is proud to support LACC, whose work includes illegal dumping cleanup, vegetation removal, and beautification across the district. The before-and-after photos tell the story better than I ever could.
