The high cost of housing is on many people's minds in Orange County. We are so pleased to welcome a speaker who has vast knowledge about the barriers to affordable housing, Elizabeth Hansburg.
Elizabeth Hansburg co-founded "People for Housing OC" after attending the 2016 SCAG California Housing Summit where she learned about the Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY) movement. Since January 2017, she has led the grassroots YIMBY effort to build public support for new affordable and attainable housing opportunities in Orange County.
Prior to her work in the YIMBY movement, Elizabeth worked as a communications consultant, translating transportation plans, air quality, and environmental impact reports into common language for use in public outreach for SCAG, LA Metro, Gateway Cities transportation projects.
Elizabeth has lived in Fullerton, Orange County for 20 years and has volunteered for ten of those on multiple city commissions, pushing to approve housing development and allocating CDBG funding to vulnerable neighborhoods within the city. At the center of her work is a deeply held belief that we can craft a future better than our past, one that provides paths to stable housing and opportunity.
Elizabeth holds a Master of City Planning from the University of Pennsylvania School of Design in Philadelphia and a Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies from the College of Wooster in Ohio.
Please join us for our monthly General Meeting. Guests are welcome. Canyon Democrats come from the communities of Trabuco, Santiago, Silverado, Modjeska and Dove Canyons, Foothill Ranch, Rancho Santa Margarita, Coto de Caza, Ladera Ranch, Laguna Hills, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo and others.
We meet to advance the goals of the Democratic Party through public policy and political analysis, education, fundraising, voter registration, coordination with other Democratic groups, campaigning and other activities to benefit the Democratic Party. And we have fun together!
