Councilwoman Raman To Speak At Sherman Oaks Homeowners Assoc.

SHERMAN OAKS, CA — Less than a week after formally assuming then role of Council District 4 representative, Nithya Raman will participate in Wednesday's Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association meeting. Raman will give a proper introduction to her new constituents, and touch on her goals for the Sherman Oaks community.

Raman will also take questions at the meeting, which will start at 7:15 p.m. Those who wish to attend can email SOHAZoomMtg@gmail.com.

The new councilmember attended her first City Council meeting on Tuesday, where she introduced a motion to shift the focus of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority from a reactive system to one that is more proactive.

"Proactive outreach has been shown to expedite the path to housing and services, expand data collection, maintain cleanliness, and improve relationships between unhoused people and their housed neighbors and local businesses," she wrote. "Most importantly, regular contact from caseworkers helps build meaningful relationships of trust, which are essential to the work of helping someone from a tent into a home for good."

Raman has also begun assembling a CD4 Volunteer Corps for those looking for a direct way to help improve the district.
