Hahn Urges City of Bell Not to Evict 350 Families Under Plan to Sell Off Mobile Home Parks
Hahn calls on city leaders to preserve “last bastion of affordable housing”
January 22, 2026
Los Angeles, CA – Yesterday, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn sent a letter to Ali Saleh, mayor of the City of Bell, expressing her strong opposition to a plan by the city to sell two city-owned mobile home parks to developers for conversion into mixed-use developments. According to the city’s own records, the move would displace some 350 families living in the two parks.
“Mobile home parks are the last bastion of affordable housing, and I stand with the residents who do not want to be displaced from their homes and from Bell. Building new housing should not come at the expense of these residents who live in these parks, many of whom are seniors and single parents and have lived in these communities for many years,” wrote Hahn in her letter to Saleh.
In the letter, Hahn—whose district includes Bell and surrounding Southeast LA communities—also offers to facilitate a meeting between the city and the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA) to find solutions to support the residents of the existing parks. LACAHSA is a regional intergovernmental agency tasked with accelerating affordable housing production, preserving existing housing, and preventing displacement.
