At the Board of Supervisors meeting this morning COPA members advocated for an expansion of the interim regulations for the conversion of non-residential to residential land.
Ernesto Aroso (derecho) explica a través de un intérprete que aunque aquí lo
viven por años y los trabajos en los campos su familia no tienen muy
difícilmente su propio cuarto de baño o ducha.

The regulations call for a 40% allocation of such development to go to moderate and low income residents.
In a statement COPA requested that these regulations also include very low income residents.
Moderate income is defined by 100-120% of median income estimated for a family of four, $74,000. Low income is defined as 80% or below of that median. Very low income is 50% of median, or $37,000 for a family of four.
The board voted to extend the interim regulations but did not address this issue at this time.

What is COPA?
"Star of the Sea has stood out in the Santa Cruz Catholic community for its commitment to integrating the Latino and Anglo communities, offering free Spanish and English classes, bilingual masses and a program named COPA involving small group discussions about social and spiritual matters."
So according to this Sentinel article, COPA involves "small group discussions about social and spiritual matters."
Does anyone else have any info about COPA?
COPA Is
"COPA has chosen six issue areas: Housing, Immigration, Health Care, Education, Safe Communities, and Economic Opportunity. Through periodic assemblies and seminars the group educates and motivates its members to take action on the local and state and federal levels of government to make our communities better places to live.
"COPA was the end result of a 3-year project (CCIS -- Central Coast Interfaith Sponsors) which exposed communities to the potential of Relational Power and explored the need for interest in and need for such an organization. The members of COPA are religious congregations, schools, unions, community and civic organizations. Leaders from these groups meet from time to time for training sessions on how to engage in public life in our community. They begin conversations that can lead to healthy public relationships among leaders of different faiths and organizations. Personal stories of life and work lead to a better understanding of the struggles of ordinary people and the pressures on families who live on the Central Coast.. By drawing on the traditions of faith and democracy, leaders learn how to engage in the ministry of public life and how to take effective action for social justice and the common good."
I believe you can contact them through various organizations that are members. Sorry, I don't have a list.
