Late last month, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles a $35 million Choice Neighborhood Initiative grant for the revitalization of the Watts community in Los Angeles. The grant will ensure progress continues on the Jordan Downs project as well as the wider Watts community.
The CNI grant enables HACLA to leverage public and private funds to support the locally driven strategies behind the Watts neighborhood transformation. It also includes $5 million that will be directed specifically for social services for Jordan Downs residents.
