Monthly HHA Membership Update

Sep 16

Our HHA Board of directors enjoyed meeting and talking with residents at our August coffee gathering on the Village Green. Thank you for coming.

Partnership with LHHA
We are working with Lake Hollywood Homeowners Association (LHHA) to strengthen our voice on safety, fire readiness, and engagement with city officials.
Upcoming Event
Saturday, September 27 | 9:30–11:30 AM
LHHA invites all community members to a meeting with Michael Eveloff, legal rights advisor, to discuss neighborhood issues and explore legal options to compel the City to act. Register HERE.
New Board Members
We are pleased to welcome Jeanne Clark and David Agnew, long-time residents of Hollywoodland, to the HHA Board. The Annual General Meeting and 2026 HHA Board Elections will take place in January.
Fire Safe Council Membership
HHA has formally joined the Hollywood Hills Fire Safe Council (a community-led 501(c)(3)) with voting rights.
Block Captain Initiative
A new program is being developed to coordinate safety and evacuation planning across Hollywoodland.
Emergency Training
Three HHA Board Directors recently completed Community Emergency Response Training (CERT), joining many residents already trained. More details on the HHA Blog.

A major focus remains California Senate Bill (SB) 79.
This bill, authored by Senator Scott Wiener, has passed both the California Senate and Assembly and is now heading to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk for signature or veto by October 12, 2025.
We are deeply grateful to the team advocating for amendments that protect Hollywoodland’s single-family zoning against pressures to increase density near transit hubs.
How you can help:
Write in to add your voice, or contact us to add your name to letters HHA will be sending to Governor Newsom by the end of September.

LAPD Transition
After more than 5 years of dedicated service, Officer Heather Mata is moving to a new role. Beginning September 22, our new Senior Lead Officer will be John Negrete.
Historic Stairs
The historic stairs in Hollywoodland remain in disrepair. CD4 has confirmed they currently lack funding. Please use caution. HHA is exploring grant opportunities to address this issue.
Hollywoodland Centenary Homes
A new blog post featuring archival material from Chris O’Brien and Greg Williams is now live on our website.

Clear gutters and remove flammable debris such as leaves and pine needles from your roof. This simple step reduces fire risk for your home and for the neighborhood.
