Message from the President |
|
I am pleased to announce that I am your newly elected President of the Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council. Having served as a Director at Large on the Council for over the last year, as well as chair of the Sustainability Committee and recent member of the Land Use Committee, I have an intimate knowledge of the HHPNC and working directly with many of you as stakeholders. In addition, we have several new Directors and Executive Committee members. We hope to be a great resource by providing the latest information on city resources regarding COVID-19, our new Councilmember elect for CD 14 Kevin DeLeon, and changes on the horizon. We are looking forward to working together in partnership with our community in these challenging times to best meet our needs.
My hope as President is to create and maintain transparency, responsiveness as a board, and true inclusivity, especially during these distant times. I initially joined the Neighborhood Council because I was inspired by the actions being taken by both stakeholders and NC members on matters affecting people and the environment right here and right now. I, also, found that the NC was one of the few places in our community that was a platform for all voices and issues. I hope to continue to ensure that we are both supporting actions on issues of today and serving as a bridge between all people and issues. I look forward to working with stakeholders and board members toward bringing our community goals to life.
Sincerely,
Estrella

How to Build a Financial First Aid Kit |
As wildfires rage up and down the state causing hundreds of thousands of Californians to evacuate or prepare to leave their homes, I released a new online resource to you prepare for today’s emergencies and any others that may come. “How to Build a Financial First Aid Kit” is an interactive tool that provides a list of documents and items you should gather, store safely, and be able to access if a crisis unexpectedly comes your way.
A Financial First Aid Kit is similar to an emergency medical first aid kit, but instead of bandages, water, medicine and tools, a Financial First Aid Kit should include any important financial, legal, medical and other personal documents and information people may need to have on hand in case of an emergency.

LA County Allocates
$12.8 Million to Address Digital Divide
Earlier this week, LA County's Board of Supervisors approved funding to address the digital divide in LA County. This, to ensure all students have the tools they need for distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The funding allocation of $12.8 million in federal coronavirus relief funds was requested by the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) and will make it possible to purchase computer devices and internet connectivity for students in need. To date, LACOE has secured 15,000 computer devices, but needs to secure an additional 27,000 devices and 21,000 hotspots for students to use at home.
Learn more about this decision by reading LACOE's announcement.
