OUR MISSION:
POP! is dedicated to ensuring housing is recognized as a fundamental human right. We empower community members to advocate for policies that expand affordable housing, protect tenants, and prevent displacement, particularly for low-income and marginalized residents.
OUR GOALS INCLUDE:
- Expanding affordable housing by advocating for the development of more affordable units, including permanent supportive housing for seniors and low-income families.
- Protecting tenants' rights by fighting for stronger tenant protections, including rent control and eviction prevention.
- Preserving existing affordable housing through regulation of rent increases and property conversions.
- Ensuring housing policies address the needs of communities of color and vulnerable populations.
- Mobilizing residents to participate in housing policy discussions and decisions.
Members of POP! strategize and advocate for systemic changes that create safe, affordable, and dignified housing for all Pasadena residents. As a community, we work to hold city leaders accountable and ensure Pasadena's housing needs are met.
