The Los Angeles Budget Advocates need your help sharing our 2026 Community Quality of Life Survey with your stakeholders.

The survey takes only a few minutes and asks residents about important neighborhood issues, including public safety, homelessness, streets, sidewalks, graffiti, and tree maintenance.

Please share the survey through your email lists, newsletters, websites, and social media to help us hear from communities across Los Angeles.

NC Budget Advocates Meeting with the Mayor 2025

The Budget Advocates met with Mayor Karen Bass and Matt Hale, Deputy Mayor for Finance, Operations & Innovation, on November 13 to discuss the City’s budget, core services, and opportunities to strengthen transparency and accountability in how public funds are allocated.

We appreciate Mayor Bass and Deputy Mayor Hale for taking the time to engage with us and for their willingness to hear community-driven concerns and priorities. The Budget Advocates will continue to represent stakeholders across Los Angeles and ensure that neighborhood voices are included in the City’s budget process.
