Yes, we have started working on a fact sheet with some Q&As for staff so that they can prepare for any calls that come in tomorrow onward. This is just the initial piece. We know there
will be more questions to provide answers to in the coming days and weeks.
Thank you for the resources. Greg shared the LACDA resource for Section 8 participants. These are the questions we did not include in the attached Q&A document:
OTHER
Q. How will I get my mail?
1. In-person mail pick up is available at the post office; you will need photo identification such as your driver’s license or state-issued identification card. Other options for
mail service include having the post office hold your mail, and submitting a temporary forward order to a PO Box or to another address. Requests for either a mail hold or change of
address can be processed either in person at the post office or online at https://www.usps.com/globals/site-index.htm under the "Receive Mail & Packages" category.
Q. Can the City provide me legal assistance?
1. The City cannot provide legal advice to private individuals. The services of a licensed attorney at should be consulted for any legal questions or concerns. The State Bar of California
maintains a directory of Certified Lawyer Referral Services that are managed by a variety of associations, legal service programs, and other organizations. The directory is available
by visiting www.calbar.ca.gov/lrs<http://www.calbar.ca.gov/lrs>, calling (866) 44-CA-LAW (866-442-2529), or emailing
Q. Is there any financial assistance to help me with renting a new place?
1. If you have renter’s insurance, be sure to review your policy. Most policies cover additional living expenses if your home is uninhabitable for a number of reasons.
*Ask if they are a Section 8 participant – If they answer yes, suggest that they contact the Los Angeles County Development Authority at (626) 262-4511 to obtain a list of available
rentals that match their rent range.
Thank you also for letting us know the HOA will be sharing questions it has received that are meant for the City to answer. It’s going to be important to specify which entity/individual
will be addressing which questions/concerns – City, HOA, landlord.
At the end of the attached Q&A we created a “who to call” reference that we need to expand on.
Greg, Raymond: Please review what we have so far and make any changes you see fit or suggest additional questions we should include. We would like to send something to staff before the
end of today.

Good morning Marsha,
Just wanted to touch bases with you. I am planning to tag the homes upon approval from the City Attorney’s office. I am also attending a virtual town hall for the HOA Monday at 1 pm.
I’m sure the question of “What is the city going to do for me?” is going to come up. I started to look at some resources that may be helpful. I don’t know if your group has started
putting stuff together in case questions arise. I believe the HOA is also going to forward me questions they’ve been asked thus far which I’ll share later. Here are the resources
I found.

Let me know if you have anything you’re working on for forwarding to residents in need.

Dear Mr. Tao:
I am looking at having a time line by the end of the month as agreed.
In regard to the demolition. We employed a total of eight people of which, two of them, perform landscaping as part of their maintenance functions. Our employees are motivated people
performing an outstanding job. Our decisions regarding personnel are sound. We always have and will keep their welfare and safety first.

Walter,
We have been contacted by an attorney from a property owner regarding your carports. They are looking for a time line schedule and why your gardeners were used to demolish the carports.
Can you please let me know how to respond to him and when you will have something from your engineer?
Thanks,
