Lift Up Your Voice (LUYV) To End Homelessness
by Sue Brinkmeyer
Once again, our UUCV advocates showed up at City Hall, and we made a difference.
Thank you to Harold Dale Cartlidge and Dorothy Fasthorse, who distributed our “Homes For All” placards to support housing. They came from UUCV and from our allied organizations: CAUSE, The Housing Authority of Ventura, VCCLUE, United Farmworkers, Church of the Foothills, Temple Beth Torah, Ventura Social Services Task Force, and others. Ten of these advocates spoke, and many more sent emails or contributed comment cards.
The result: City Council voted to add back in many more housing units, especially affordable housing, that would have been deleted from the city’s general plan. Thank you to all who played a part in this effort. We didn’t get everything we wanted, but we did make a difference.
