Priorities for District 1

Focused on outcomes that improve daily life.

Tamika Wagner-Osio

Housing & Homelessness Solutions

What makes my approach to homelessness different?

Responsibility: To transition individuals from the street into managed environments while protecting the stability of our neighborhoods.

 

Intensity: We are currently seeing Manual Bureaucracy fail. Millions are spent, but the "Logic Leak" between health and housing departments is widening.

 

Danger: Without a Unified Data Braid, we are simply managing the crisis, not solving it.

 

Effect: My SheltrLink mindset moves us to Outcome-based funding. If a program doesn't show a measurable ROI in 90 days, we re-allocate that capital to a system that works.

Public Safety

How will I actually lower crime in District 1?

Responsibility: As your Councilwoman, my duty is the Standard of Care for our streets. Safety is a fiduciary obligation, not a campaign slogan. Intensity: We are facing a high-conflict environment where retail theft is treated as "inevitable." It isn't.

​

Danger: Status quo inertia is leading to business flight and neighborhood destabilization.

​

Effect: I will implement Forensic Public Safety. This means braiding police resources with real-time neighborhood data to stop crime before it happens, rather than just filing a report after the damage is done.

Economic Opportunity & Equity

How will I fix the budget without raising taxes?

Responsibility: To maximize the Efficiency Dividend for our small businesses and taxpayers.

 

Intensity: We are currently "Leaking" revenue through slow permitting and fragmented city logic.

 

Effect: By applying the formula D=(B×O)−M, we audit the "Toil" of city administration. By automating the bureaucracy, we free up the millions needed for clean streets and police presence without touching your wallet.

Focus Areas:

  • Support for Long Beach based small businesses

  • Fair access to permits, capital, and city opportunities

  • Responsible economic development with accountability

  • Protecting neighborhood business corridors

Affordable Housing

Housing must be attainable for working families.

Rents are rising faster than wages, placing many households one emergency away from displacement.

I Support:

  • Preserving and producing affordable housing

  • Enforcing affordability commitments from developers

  • Smart policies that prevent displacement

  • Balanced growth that maintains neighborhood character

Senior Protections

Seniors on fixed incomes deserve stability.

District 1 must protect older residents from housing insecurity and displacement.

Priorities Include:

  • Strengthening tenant protections for seniors

  • Expanding rental stabilization programs

  • Supporting policies that allow seniors to age safely in place

Listening & Accountability

Policy must reflect lived experience.

Residents have been clear about concerns including safety, cleanliness, responsiveness, and transparency.

Leadership requires:

  • Open communication

  • Measurable standards

  • Clear follow through

If residents do not feel heard, the approach must improve.
