NHNENC VP Jennifer Clark was quoted in the Daily News about our effort to weigh in on the public safety risk of wire theft and our support of a bill to stop it.

The North Hollywood Northeast Neighborhood Council declares North Hollywood Northeast as a Safe Haven Neighborhood for transgender individuals, and explicitly affirms the validity and rights of transgender people, including trans youth in sports and education.
The Shared Solar enables residential customers living in multifamily dwellings (apartments, condominiums, duplexes) to fix a portion of their electric bill against rising utility costs for 10 years, as well as support renewable energy, help create local jobs, help reduce the carbon footprint of LADWP’s generation portfolio and lessen the impact of global warming.
On April 2nd, the North Hollywood Northeast Neighborhood Council, in partnership with KeepLAHoused and the Noho Neighborhood Council, hosted a powerful Rent Stabilization Ordinance Town Hall that filled the MCC United Church Of Christ In The Valley with over 100 renters, advocates, and neighbors—all coming together for one purpose:
👉 To demand that the City of Los Angeles cap rent increases at 3% annually.
We were honored to welcome Councilmember Adrin Nazarian of Council District 2 as our special guest. With over 60% of his district made up of renters, our message to him was clear: The status quo is unsustainable.
The proposed reforms would:
Limit annual rent hikes to 60% of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), with a hard cap of 3%
Ban added charges for extra tenants or utilities
📢 This town hall wasn’t just a discussion—it was the result of months of grassroots organizing and cross-community collaboration. From building alliances with community organization and Valley neighborhood councils to amplifying voices often left unheard, this was community power in action.
Councilmember Nazarian heard directly from residents about how rising rents—even in so-called “rent-controlled” units—are pushing families out of their homes.
Together, we sent a strong message to City Hall:
🛑 Stop the rent hikes. Cap it at 3%.
🏠 Protect our neighborhoods. Keep LA housed.
The fight for housing justice is far from over, but last night proved we’re stronger when we stand together. Thank you to everyone who showed up, spoke out, and continues to push for a more equitable Los Angeles.
Stay engaged, stay organized, and stay loud.
On February 22, 2025, North Hollywood Northeast Neighborhood Council (NHNENC) President Zaid Diaz-Arias had the incredible honor of moderating a panel discussion on youth development and civic engagement at the 2025 EmpowerLA Youth Conference. The panel featured LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia, Department of Neighborhood Empowerment General Manager Carmen Chang, Youth Development Department General Manager Lisa Salazar, and LAUSD Student Empowerment Director Dr. Lorena Franco. Together, they engaged young leaders from across Los Angeles in discussions about the Neighborhood Council system, city services, and opportunities for youth involvement in shaping their communities.
The EmpowerLA Youth Conference, brought together 100 young people between the ages of 14-17 for a full day of learning and engagement. Attendees participated in interactive workshops on civic engagement, explored leadership pathways through the Neighborhood Council system, and had the chance to connect with city leaders and like-minded peers. The conference also featured a resource fair with over a dozen City departments and trusted community partners, providing valuable insights and opportunities for youth looking to make an impact in their communities.
Serving on NHNENC for 5 years, Diaz-Arias is now in his second term as president. As one of the youngest Neighborhood Council presidents in the system today, his leadership and commitment to youth civic engagement made him the ideal choice to moderate this important discussion. Under his tenure, the council has fully utilized its budget on impactful projects and has launched more community improvement initiatives than ever before.
As one of the youngest Neighborhood Council presidents today, Diaz-Arias remains committed to empowering young people to see themselves as active stakeholders in their communities. Events like the EmpowerLA Youth Conference highlight the importance of youth voices in local government and the impact of creating spaces for engagement, learning, and action.
NHNENC extends its gratitude to EmpowerLA, the esteemed panelists, and all the youth who attended and contributed to this vital conversation. The future of Los Angeles is bright, and NHNENC looks forward to continuing its work in championing youth leadership and civic engagement in the city.
