Equity Policy Advisory Board

The Partnership’s Equity Policy Advisory Board (EPAB) uplifts the voices of low-income renter perspectives to be engaged more directly in the organization’s legislative initiatives and annual policy/advocacy work priorities. Founded in early 2022, the EPAB meets semi-annually and includes diverse representation from tenant empowerment and legal service organizations from across California to ensure that the Partnership’s core equity values are guided and upheld by an inclusive and diverse range of stakeholders.
