Two years ago, the group broke into the vacant homes which were supposed to be demolished for the failed 710 freeway extension project.
For the last year, Ruby Gordillo is proud that she can call a once-vacant house on Sheffield Avenue in El Sereno her home.
Two years ago, Gordillo led a group called"Reclaiming our Homes" and broke into the vacant homes which were supposed to be demolished for the failed 710 freeway extension project. Instead, the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles negotiated a lease with Caltrans to give 25 households — including Gordillo's — a temporary emergency housing assistance contract since they had nowhere else to go.
Fighting to keep the houses they have called home, Gordillo and other housing advocates protested Wednesday and said the best option is to let them stay in the otherwise unoccupied homes. Tenants like Ernie Gomez, who has rented his home from Caltrans for more than 20 years, said that what Gordillo and her group are doing is unfair.
