IRS990/Desc0Inclusive affordable housingPILP's housing work is designed to support Californians in need of affordable housing. We focus on equitable use and ownership of land to increase, protect, and preserve affordable housing and tenant protections for lower income Californians. We specialize in affordable and fair housing; land use, inclusive development and redevelopment, relocation assistance, preservation of subsidized housing, and landlord-tenant laws. In 2023, we secured the first published court opinion interpreting the state of California's requirement to affirmatively further fair housing, established fair access to housing in San Bernardino, prevented the destruction of a mobilehome park in Carson, and engaged in advocacy to expand land for affordable housing, safeguard approved affordable housing projects from NIMBY opposition, and clarify replacement housing requirements for displaced tenants.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Protecting and advancing civil rights of unhoused personsCalifornia is home to more than half of all unhoused people, many in unsafe conditions without access to basic necessities including food, shelter, and health care. Black Californians are disproportionately represented in the unhoused population, as are American Indian or Alaska Native and Pacific Islander Californians. PILP protects and advances the civil rights of unhoused people across the state; fights the criminalization of homelessness; and works to ensure equitable access to benefits and services that are designed to help unhoused people get and keep stable housing. In 2023, we continued to fight for the civil rights of unhoused persons in San Francisco,San Luis Obispo and Santa Rosa.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Breaking down barriers to equitable disbursement of public benefitsThose eligible for public benefits in California include chronically homeless people with disabilities, female-headed, and lower income families with children that disproportionately identify as female households and Black or Latina. PILP breaks down systemic barriers to the equitable disbursement of public benefits, primarily focused on CalFresh; CalWORKS; General Assistance/Relief; and other funds targeted to helping unhoused people, people with disabilities, immigrants, foster youth, and disaster survivors can meet their basic needs. In 2023, we issued several educational toolkits and advocated to resolve issues denying General Relief to those otherwise entitled.
