American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA): LUNA conducted community outreach to inform, educate, and guide community members (tenants) about their rights and the resources the City of San Jose and other organizations provide to the most vulnerable communities impacted the hardest by COVID-19. LUNA engaged more than 4300 people through door-knocking, community events, community meetings, and house meetings. In 2024, LUNA concluded the campaign with recommendations to the City of San Jose, including: Unlawful detainer training, enforce fines towards slum landlords, hire more personnel, especially in the Code Enforcement Department, and more police patrols in the neighborhoods.

Chapters: We have channeled our hyper local power to the city and county levels. At every city council and board of supervisors meeting, crucial topics are discussed. LUNA and our leaders get involved when there is a policy that will cause a critical impact (either positively or negatively) on low-income immigrant tenants in Eastside San Jose. HCA, which owns Regional Medical Center, the only hospital on the Eastside of San Jose, announced the closure of Trauma, STEMI, and Stroke programs in August of 2024. With a coalition of local organizations, we had a victory beyond what we imagined and not only prevented cuts to services, but secured the county's investment and bought the hospital to incorporate the services into our county health system.
