We are currently a 100% volunteer-led organization. We are seeking volunteers to provide support in research, community engagement, social media, language support and translation (Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Khmer, and Spanish), grant writing, fundraising, and more. Below is a list of active working groups we convene.

LACCLT Working Groups

• Community Outreach - The Community Outreach Workgroup focuses on developing relationships with community members, which includes tenant organizations, community groups, and elected offices. This workgroup helps support tenants/tenant associations who may be interested in purchasing their property. Other potential activities could include tabling at community events and meeting with other community groups.

• Property Owner Outreach + Acquisition - The Acquisition Workgroup (previously Property Owner Outreach) supports acquisition projects for the CLT. Acquisition broadly refers to all steps in potential acquisition processes, from developing relationships with funders/developers, to engaging with property owners who may want to sell their property. Current efforts include exploring acquisition of current for-sale buildings in Chinatown.

• Fundraising - The Fundraising Workgroup supports various fundraising and financing efforts for the CLT. Areas of focus include grant writing, developing relationships with funders, and developing budgets.

• Strategic Planning - The Strategic Planning Workgroup is focused on helping the CLT identify an external vendor who can help the CLT develop a strategic plan. Current efforts include engaging with a potential vendor, reviewing proposed workplans, and coordinating a contract with said vendor.
