Program Information

Long Beach Residents Empowered (LiBRE) is a a housing rights organization that is committed to advancing justice in disadvantaged communities through the creation and preservation of affordable housing, renter protections, and community economic development. Our work is driven by our values of shifting power dynamics so that we can put an end to displacement and homelessness and ensure housing as a human right for everyone who calls Long Beach home.

All students, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation, are open and welcome to participate.

Health & Safety

We might do occasional in person outreach in local neighborhoods if COVID cases are not currently on the rise. Since most work is done remotely a student will need access to a laptop or smart phone and wifi. We encourage students who make calls to create a Google Voice account to protect their personal identity.Before students begin volunteering for online outreach, we will do a virtual 1 hour training. There will be designated times during the week that students can join for collective outreach sessions but they are not required to attend. They can make up hours on their own time as long as they report their shifts and call / text outcomes.

Students will check in with their supervisors to give them training and instructions on their work responsibilities. Supervisors will also debrief after their shift and check them out.
