Los Angeles Community College District

This Pride Month, LACCD proudly celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community and reaffirms our commitment to creating inclusive, welcoming, and empowering spaces for all across our nine colleges. Happy Pride Month!

Thank you to ABC7, KNX News, NBC4, and Telemundo for highlighting LACCD’s efforts to expand student housing opportunities and support student success.

We are proud to partner with Cal State LA to increase access to safe, stable housing for students experiencing housing insecurity. Through this initiative, East Los Angeles College students will have access to residence hall spaces at Cal State LA, helping them stay focused on their education, well-being, and long-term goals.

Join us for: Prioritizing Foster Youth in Student Housing: An Action Summit for LACCD and Partners.

At this important event, LACCD and key community partners will engage in discussions to develop key strategies focused on student housing solutions for foster youth and help flip the pernicious foster care-to-homelessness pipeline into a foster care-to-prosperity pipeline.

This event builds on visionary work by the Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees, who unanimously approved a resolution this spring to set aside 20% of its emerging student housing program for current and former foster youth. The Resolution, authored by Board President Sara Hernandez and co-sponsored by nearly the entire board, will help the District's 1,750 current and former foster youth get the housing they need to achieve their full academic potential.

Meet Jamie, a Los Angeles Harbor College student pursuing an Associate Degree for Transfer in Elementary Teacher Education. Inspired by the educators who supported her throughout her journey, she hopes to become a teacher who creates safe, inclusive spaces where students can overcome self-doubt and reach their full potential.

Jamie’s resilience and determination have shaped both her educational journey and personal growth. After her mother was diagnosed with cancer when Jamie was just eighteen, she learned the importance of perseverance, hope, and strength during life’s most difficult moments. Despite these challenges, Jamie has remained resilient and deeply involved at LAHC as a student worker, A*O Senator for Student Advocacy, and participant in programs like MESA, EOPS, and Harbor Advantage. As she prepares to transfer to a UC or CSU in Fall 2026, Jamie continues to represent the leadership, perseverance, and spirit of Los Angeles Harbor College.

Today LACCD and Cal State LA solidified a partnership to expand access to safe, stable housing for East Los Angeles College students experiencing housing insecurity. Through this new partnership, residence hall spaces at Cal State LA will help students experiencing housing insecurity stay focused on their education and future goals.

Building on the LA Next transfer pathway program, this collaboration reflects a shared commitment to equity, student success, and innovative solutions to the student housing crisis across Los Angeles County.

Special thanks to LACCD Board President Sara Hernandez for championing student housing access, and to the full Board of Trustees for continuing to expand basic needs initiatives across LACCD. A special thanks to Trustees Buelna and Vela for attending today's event. We also thank Cal State LA President Dr. Berenecea Johnson Eanes and her team for their partnership and leadership in making this milestone possible. Cal State LA is the first university partner supporting LACCD’s student housing efforts, with hopes to expand these opportunities across the district.

This Memorial Day, LACCD honors and remembers the brave service members who sacrificed their lives in service to our country. We are forever grateful for their courage, dedication, and enduring legacy.

Today, LACCD proudly hosted the 3rd Annual Dream Resource Forum, bringing together educators, advocates, community partners, and student leaders to strengthen services, support undocumented and mixed-status students, and advance equity through our college Dream Resource Centers.

Special thank you to Dr. Martin De Mucha Flores, LAVC Administrator, Dream Resource Center leadership, Javier Carbajal-Ramos, and all of today’s presenters for sharing their insight, expertise, and commitment to student success.

LACCD continues to lead with compassion and commitment by creating safe spaces, resources, and opportunities for Dreamers and all students to thrive academically, professionally, and personally.

Nigel Brooks came to Los Angeles City College (LACC) intending to pursue radiologic technology, but after taking an introductory psychology course soon inspired him to change direction and earn a Psychology for Transfer degree instead. Since then, he has embraced LACC’s supportive community, taking part in the Honors program and campus resources that have shaped both his academic and personal growth.

Outside the classroom, Nigel serves as president of the Forever Jung Psychology Club and hopes to transfer to USC to study neuropsychology and become a clinical psychologist. LACC has given him a stronger sense of belonging, purpose, and opportunity, and we wish Nigel and all LACCD students continued success as they pursue greater beginnings across our colleges.

This Classified Employee Appreciation Week, we celebrate and thank our classified employees for the essential role they play in supporting students every day. Your dedication, hard work, and commitment make a lasting impact across our campuses.
