NELA River Study Area News: HUD Grant

The NELA river corridor team would like to share that we've submitted a grant application with Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for possibly $3 million in funding.

The grant was prepared by the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) in response to a national, competitive call for projects. The money, if granted, would be used to enhance the studies that the CRA/LA is conducting related to the proposed NELA redevelopment project area. This grant request does not pre-determine the adoption of a redevelopment project area. There is a process that must be followed to ensure that the community is informed, engaged and heard. For more information on that process please visit our website at www.crala.org/nela which has a downloadable chart that describes basic steps and phases necessary to adopt a new redevelopment project area.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me or Alison Becker at abecker@cra.lacity.org

The Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) is seeking to create a redevelopment project area in Northeast Los Angeles (NELA). The project area would cover most NELA communities that lie alongside the river, including some significant sections of Atwater Village, with no regards to the integrity of long established community boundaries. Atwater Village’s boundaries and land-use development uniformity would be threatened by its inclusion in the proposed NELA River Redevelopment Project Area.
