In partnership with @ladwp1 we’re investing $140 million to beautify our community and improve power reliability by undergrounding wires in #CD7! This long-term improvement happening in Pacoima will enhance safety, reduce maintenance, and elevate the look of our neighborhoods. Here are a few quick facts you should know about this project:

- Street closures will range along Kewen Ave., Cayuga Ave., Tamarack Ave., El Dorado Ave., Ilex Ave., and Pinney St.
- This is estimated to be a year long project.
- This project is proven to reduce long-term maintenance and improve power reliability and overall aesthetics of our community.

I understand this may bring temporary inconveniences, but I fought for this investment because our community deserves stable power and a beautiful, modern streetscape. Thank you for your patience as we work toward a brighter future for Pacoima!

Knowledge is power. If you’re confronted by ICE, remember: you have rights. Stay informed and protect yourself and your loved ones.

See above for information and essential steps to take and how to assert your rights with confidence. Let’s empower our community with the knowledge to stay safe and supported.

Our community’s well-being is my top priority, especially in the wake of the recent wildfires. I know that job losses can be a heavy burden, which is why I launched the Wildfire Relief Fund for Informal Service Workers in partnership with @iconcdc to provide direct financial assistance.

If you are a self-employed worker—such as a housekeeper, gardener, sidewalk vendor, caretaker, or chef—and have suffered income or property losses due to the wildfires, you may qualify for $250 (individual) or $500 (family) grants.

📍 You must live in one of these ZIP codes:
91040, 91042, 91331 (Pacoima & Arleta), 91340, 91342, 91343 (North Hills - Partial), 91345, 91352 (Shadow Hills - Partial).

El bienestar de nuestra comunidad es mi máxima prioridad, especialmente tras los recientes incendios forestales. Sé que la pérdida de empleo puede ser una gran carga, por eso lancé el Fondo de Ayuda por Incendios Forestales para Trabajadores de Servicios Informales en colaboración con @iconcdc para brindar asistencia financiera directa.

Si eres trabajador por cuenta propia—como recamarera, jardinero, vendedor ambulante, cuidador o chef—y has sufrido pérdidas de ingresos o daños a la propiedad debido a los incendios forestales, puedes calificar para una ayuda de $250 (individual) o $500 (familiar).

📍 Debes vivir en uno de estos códigos postales:
91040, 91042, 91331 (Pacoima y Arleta), 91340, 91342, 91343 (North Hills - Parcial), 91345, 91352 (Shadow Hills - Parcial).
