COURAGE IN ACTION AWARD

We’re thrilled to announce this year’s recipient of our Courage in Action Award, Congresswoman Maxine Waters!

Congresswoman Waters is a trailblazer whose unwavering commitment to justice has shaped the landscape of housing equity in Los Angeles and across the nation. Serving in Congress since 1991, she has been a fearless advocate for marginalized communities, a champion for economic fairness, and a relentless voice for those too often left behind.

Throughout her distinguished career, Congresswoman Waters has authored and advanced transformative legislation to protect tenants, expand affordable housing, and hold financial institutions accountable. As Chair and now Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee, she has led efforts to dismantle systemic barriers in housing and finance, always centering the needs of low-income families and communities of color.

Her leadership is not confined to Capitol Hill. Congresswoman Waters has consistently stood shoulder-to-shoulder with frontline communities in moments of crisis and hope, including those served by Venice Community Housing. Her steadfast advocacy aligns deeply with our mission and has helped shape the broader movement for housing justice that we are proud to be part of.

In recognition of her historic impact and enduring dedication, Venice Community Housing is proud to honor Congresswoman Maxine Waters. We celebrate her legacy of fearless leadership and her transformative role in the movement for housing justice.

We are thrilled to welcome her back to our Annual Jazz Brunch, where her presence continues to inspire and galvanize our collective mission.
