Back to: Address potential adverse impacts to housing affordability and people experiencing homelessness.
Action: Develop mapping and assessment planning tools to identify areas at risk for displacement around the LA River in order to prioritize affordable housing projects.
Understanding where along the river new projects might impact housing affordability starts with understanding what areas are at the greatest risk of displacement.
Using mapping and assessment planning tools to identify these areas, proactive steps can be taken in proportion to the size of a potential river project and its projected impact to mitigate adverse effects on housing affordability and the risk of displacement.
