“There’s a housing crisis and we’re all trying to do our part [because] every contribution matters,” the Hollywood Community Housing Corporation’s executive directorsaid. “I think it creates a really beautiful connection because people from all walks of life love the TV. They connect to the stories that connect to the actors.”praised the Emmys for taking “a leadership role” in the community by proposing the idea.
“We’ve always talked about being biodegradable and reusable and all that,” added Sequoia Productions’, who has been producing the event for more than 20 years. “We’ve always given away fixtures to theaters and [schools]… and very conscious every year of trying to make sure that we are giving back in some way.”
In addition to highlighting L.A.’s housing crisis, the annual after-party is taking note of its Los Angeles setting in other ways. For the second year, for example, the party will feature coffee from locally-based Don Francisco’s Coffee.Lisette Gaviña Lopez,
