PANEL: Hotels in Crisis: Can we own it? Can we run it?

Our next Hotels in Crisis (Again) panel will explore exciting alternatives to the SRO housing model. We’ll hear from people with visions for the future of SROs downtown. What would a path to tenant ownership look like? What can we learn from tenants who took over the management of their buildings or in mobile home parks? What else might be possible? Justin Szlaza, founding director of the Future Communities Institute, will envision a pathway to resident ownership of their buildings, Jenny Scanlin, CRA/LA and currently Chief Development Officer at HACLA; representatives of Venice Community Housing and Amanda Spiva with the Los Angeles Tenants Union will present models for resident governance.
