Ending Multiplexing

The Alliance seeks an end to the conversion of single-family Southside homes into makeshift apartment buildings.  The process is known as “multiplexing.”  The article below, which is taken from The Alliance Newsletter published in March, 2021, briefly discusses the status of the organization’s work to date on this issue.   

Following that article is the official statement of The Alliance’s position on this important matter.  It includes specific recommendations from the City’s strategic plan, “Plan 2024” as well as a follow-up urban plan, professionally prepared for the grass-roots organization, Create Huntington.  Those recommendations, dating from 2013 and 2014 respectively, call for the end of multiplexing and the return of multiplexed homes to single-family-only occupancy. 

Nothing has been done about Southside multiplexing since those plans were completed.  However, coupling a heightened visibility of this problem with organized citizen action could finally bring it to an end.  There is important support for The Alliance’s objective of ending multiplexing at City Hall.
