Description

For more than half a century, the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) has been Los Angeles’ public partner in housing, commercial, neighborhood and economic development. CRA/LA is dedicated to revitalizing, refurbishing, and renewing economically underserved areas of Los Angeles. Since its creation in 1948, CRA/LA’s main task is to lend a hand – to investors willing to take risks for a more vibrant city; to neighborhood residents with renewed aspirations for their communities; and to those in need who strive to take part in the city’s growing prosperity.

The CRA/LA collaborates with numerous city departments and other public agencies, especially the Housing and Community Development Departments and the Los Unified School District (LAUSD) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). The Mayor’s Office and Council offices often facilitate this collaboration, lending an overall vision to this inter-departmental and inter- agency work.
