ABOUT SAJE
Since 1996, SAJE has been a force for economic justice in Los Angeles. We believe that all people have a right to the city and that the future of neighborhoods should be decided by those who dwell there. For over 25 years, we have worked side-by-side with our members to improve our community by advocating for tenant rights, healthy housing, and equitable development. We focus on housing policy and the built environment because they are a root cause of economic and social inequality, shaped by decades of redlining, racial covenants, and, most recently, predatory lending and foreclosure practices. Our work seeks to protect vulnerable communities from eviction, lockouts, and harassment, preserve existing affordable housing, and promote the production of additional affordable housing in new construction. Ultimately, our aim is to decommodify housing through the creation of permanent affordable housing, community land trusts, and public and social housing that prioritizes people over profits.
