During the COVID-19 crisis, the last thing tenants need is to be worrying about where they are going to go when their notices expire. 

Long Beach Residents Empowered (LiBRE) has been working with community members and advocates to ensure families, seniors, and veterans who have been impacted by COVID-19 are note displaced from their homes during the crisis. Please check out the resources we've created in collaboration with our community partners below.
