Welcome! This is the official website of the Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition (LANCC). We are a large coalition of Neighborhood Councils and welcome everyone to this open process. Don't be left out! Join the LA NC Coalition! Send a delegate from your Neighborhood Council to represent you in this important process in Los Angeles.
About Us
Neighborhood Councils in Los Angeles came about with the revision of the City Charter in 1999. Article IX, Section 901(c) of that Charter states that the Neighborhood Councils should come together as a Congress of Neighborhoods. Why a "Congress of Neighborhoods"? What did the members of the Revision Commission mean when they used that term? According to the members of the Revision Commission, it was envisioned that Neighborhood Councils would come together to communicate with one another and to discuss and decide major issues affecting the citizens of Los Angeles. The formation of the Congress was to be left up to the Neighborhood Councils themselves.Now, that time has come! The Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition is intended to enhance the ability of NCs, as well as their clout and influence, giving a larger voice on issues affecting more than one neighborhood. The Coalition is not intended to usurp or interfere with the role of an individual Neighborhood Council in their own neighborhood.

b. Motion for each Neighborhood Council to review the revised report-back from DONE on CF 21-0407, determine if it accurately reflects Neighborhood Council’s understanding of what was requested, and bring their concerns to the February LANCC meeting to address with the Arts, Parks, Health, Education and Neighborhoods Committee (or subsequent committee dealing with the Neighborhoods)
c. Motion that Neighborhood Councils request that the City Council mandate that the new Ad Hoc Committee on City Governance Reform act with full transparency on its slate of issues and involve stakeholders and Neighborhood Councils from this point forward on: (1) expanding the size of the city council and reducing the size of each district so each Councilmember represents a more manageable number of Angelenos; (2) the creation and operation of a new redistricting commission; (3) taking steps as needed to ensure districts are more competitive and that there is ore grass-roots participation and more equitable representation; (4) establishing barriers to ensure Councilmembers are no longer able to abuse their position; (5) promptly addressing reform of the Ethics Commission, campaign finance and municipal lobbying; and (6) other issues taken up by the Committee as they are formulated.
d. Motion to establish a LANCC committee to discuss and formulate a shared effort to pool knowledge and resources to offer more assistance to our communities with regards to stakeholder concerns including, but not limited to, issues affecting the elderly, the disabled, those still impacted at any level by Covid, those suffering from depression, homelessness, the lack of affordable housing, the intersection of public safety and social service needs, best practices when local officials refuse to take action on neighborhood problems, and any additional concerns they may wish to take on.
