Action: Increase units of affordable housing within one mile of the river.

Methods

specific, tangible ways to reach the goal

  • Encourage a mix of supportive housing, affordable rental, and affordable homeownership units in both new construction and preservation buildings.
  • Expand the LA County Community Development Authority’s Home Ownership Program (HOP) to provide additional affordable homeownership opportunities in river adjacent communities.
  • Designate river adjacent communities at risk of increased displacement as priority areas for County affordable housing investment.
  • Publicly report on the progress toward this goal annually through the Affordable Housing Coordinating Committee.
