(2/2) Why does #StayHousedLA collect #MansionTaxes from every ZIP in the #CityofLA,

but #UnitedToHouseLA assistance is denied for all but 14 “priority” ZIP codes in the City of #LosAngeles?

(1/2) I asked ULACOC why #UnitedtoHouseLA had collected $10M in contributions from #MansionTaxes from 10 real estate sales in 90291…

…but tenants in 90291 only got $100k in #StayHousedLA assistance!
