Housing Herlinda is dedicated to tackling homelessness with compassion and practical solutions. She will work to expand funding for the Mobile Access Center street team, providing ongoing services to those affected by homelessness directly in our community.

She will also strengthen resources for the Long Beach Health and Human Services Department to prioritize public health. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Reducing CrimeSafety is the cornerstone of a thriving city. Herlinda will work to ensure that residents in the new Fourth District and throughout Long Beach are protected and respected.
