Yes In My Back Yard

After launching YIMBY’s proven model of advocacy and legal enforcement in LA in 2024, YIMBY LA is ready to scale. This project will target two key opportunities: state-required rezonings and permit streamlining efforts spurred by the LA fires. Over the next year, we’ll drive these changes in major LA cities. In the process, we’ll directly unblock 10,000 new homes. We’ll lay the foundation for a future where every Angeleno has access to a safe, affordable home.

YIMBY is unleashing a grassroots community-led transformation of the housing landscape in LA County. YIMBY will elevate local leaders to form a new LA advocacy chapter and pursue legal action to hold cities accountable to meeting housing needs. We will recruit new activists representing unique regions like the San Fernando Valley, South LA, Westside, and more. Housing production is woefully inadequate, resulting in skyrocketing rents, displacement, and inhumane homelessness. YIMBY unlocks new housing so all Angelenos will have access to a home.
