Citizens' Advisory Commission on Disabilities - May 14, 2026
The city's first real effort to gather data on the lived experiences of people with disabilities in Long Beach is about 450 surveys in, with a goal of 1,000 by June 30.

Gaps remain among seniors, hearing- and vision-impaired residents, and Latino and Asian-American communities.
