CES HAS A PROVEN RECORD Since 1973, CES has organized people throughout the Los Angeles area, achieving an impressive record in fighting and winning many battles. In its over quarter of a century history, CES: Led the fight to win rent control in Los Angeles and West Hollywood, and has been the premier "watchdog" protecting and strengthening rent control since its adoption. Was the driving force to incorporate the City of West Hollywood and electing CES members to the West Hollywood City Council. Organized thousands of tenants in private and HUD subsidized buildings into tenant unions to stop rent increases and evictions, and to force landlords to make needed repairs. Assisted HUD tenants in purchasing their buildings to preserve them as tenant controlled affordable housing. Secured hundreds of government-funded affordable housing units for tenants being displaced. Assisted thousands of tenants with information on their rights at CES' twice a week Tenants' Rights Clinic These accomplishments, along with many others, have made CES one of L.A.'s most dynamic and effective grassroots community organizations.
