2 CRA/LA Strategic Plan May 1, 2009 June 30, 2014
3 Who We Are and Our Traditional Role The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) is a public entity established under California state law by the Los Angeles City Council in 1948 to address conditions of blight throughout the City. For more than 60 years, CRA/LA has been a catalyzing force for economic growth and community-building, producing landmark results including Downtown s signature skyline, a reborn historic core and the exciting LA Live! complex. CRA/LA has also led the Hollywood renaissance, built tens of thousands of affordable residential units to meet the needs of families and seniors and created permanent supportive housing for persons who would otherwise be homeless. CRA/LA has created shopping opportunities in long-neglected communities from Reseda and Pacoima to Crenshaw and Watts, new transit-oriented districts in Hollywood, North Hollywood and Wilshire Center-Koreatown, and thousands of well-paying construction and permanent jobs for the City s residents. Operating under the California Community CRA/LA has helped to shape a Redevelopment Law (Section et Seq. of dynamic Los Angeles, improving the California Health and Safety Code), CRA/LA the quality of life for its residents is charged with eliminating and preventing the and businesses, and has helped to spread of blight and deterioration, maintaining restore pride and promise in many and expanding the supply of affordable housing, varied and diverse neighborhoods. and attracting investment into neglected areas of the City. We work in 32 project areas organized in seven regions. CRA/LA s primary role has been to formulate and implement geographically-based strategies to achieve reinvestment and revitalization in neighborhoods where the private sector has failed to create or sustain a quality living environment. CRA/LA has long implemented this role through such traditional means as property assemblage, construction of public improvements, funding of affordable housing and creating financial and other incentives to attract new investment.

4 The Need for a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Over the last 25 years, Los Angeles has suffered a net loss of over 50,000 jobs in the formal economy, while at the same time gaining a million residents. The downturn in the economy that began in the early 1990s exacerbated by the impacts of the 1992 civil disturbances and the 1994 Northridge Earthquake resulted in a significant loss of middle class jobs. As the economy recovered, the vast majority of the new jobs created tended to pay lower wages, offer fewer (if any) benefits and provided more limited access to career ladders than the middle class jobs that had been lost. Our local economy also produced a small number of very high end jobs, creating a city of extreme income polarization. Urban lands that historically housed middle class manufacturing jobs have been converted to other uses, further diminishing the City s business attraction and retention capacity. Today, Los Angeles is facing unprecedented challenges: a churning, globalized economy, environmental and resource threats caused by climate change, crippled and uncertain credit and financial markets, historically high rates of home foreclosures, steep declines in property values and an associated loss of businesses and jobs. While today s global economic crisis has deepened swiftly over the last year, the long-term restructuring of the Los Angeles economy has signaled the need for a more comprehensive and strategic approach to economic development than traditionally pursued by local policy makers. In January 2008, the Mayor s Los Angeles Economy & Jobs Committee highlighted the need for the City to develop a comprehensive economic development strategy. The lack of a comprehensive economic development strategy in the City, embracing land use, infrastructure development, strategic investment, business attraction, workforce development, and the promotion of a sustainable quality living environment, has hampered the City s ability to effectively respond to the challenges facing Los Angeles. The Committee s report examined the obstacles to economic growth in Los Angeles, and clearly noted the need to find new approaches to job creation, housing and community development to revitalize communities. CRA/LA took to heart the Committee s 100 specific recommendations and embarked on a strategic planning process to reexamine its mission, values, goals and capabilities in light of this call for a more comprehensive approach to economic development. 4
5 A Strategic Plan to Guide Decisions in Tough Economic Times CRA/LA sought to create a tool that would guide our decision-making during troubled economic times and help us make tough choices as property tax increment (CRA/LA s primary source of revenue) declines precipitously in the coming years. CRA/LA recognizes that the traditional tools of redevelopment, while critical to restoring health to Los Angeles communities, need to be supplemented with additional focus on sustainability, growth of middle class career opportunities, and a healthier living environment for both current and future generations. We recognize that traditional resources are dwindling and that a new model that emphasizes targeting scarce resources, identifying new and creative ways of financing projects and rebuilding CRA/LA s own capacity is critical to the City s long-term health and well-being. CRA/LA presents this Strategic Plan as another step forward in our City s progress towards a comprehensive economic development strategy. Under the leadership of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and with the support of the Los Angeles City Council, the diverse policy tools of City government have begun to address the issues of workforce development, effective and real planning, affordable housing, critical infrastructure investments, public education, energy efficiency and the greening of the Port of Los Angeles, Los Angeles World Airports, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and our local building industry. In addition to the Mayor s Los Angeles Economy & Jobs Committee, the City Council s Jobs, Business Growth & Tax Reform Committee and Councilmember Greig Smith s L.A. Legislative Economic Action Plan (LEAP) have also set forth a roadmap of the steps the City can take in formulating and promoting an economic development strategy. 6
6 How We Created This Strategic Plan In the summer of 2008, CRA/LA s executive management mapped a strategic planning process for our In developing this Strategic Plan, we were agency drawing on the expertise and careful to set forth goals that are counsel of Varouj Abkian, Assistant SMART SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, Director of the City s Bureau of ACHIEVABLE, REALISTIC and TIME-FRAMED Sanitation. We formed a 20-member so that the Strategic Plan will provide an Strategic Planning Committee effective framework for defining our work composed of staff from throughout program and allocating our resources. CRA/LA. In work sessions facilitated by CRA/LA staff, every regional office and department conducted a SWOT analysis in which staff was asked to describe CRA/LA s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Strategic Planning Committee members drafted new expressions of CRA/LA s mission, vision and values. Using an agency-wide survey, we vetted formulations of our mission and values. The survey enjoyed a high response rate and generated valuable substantive comments and suggestions. An outside facilitator tested formulations of our strategic objectives and goals through focus groups drawn from regional offices, and technical and business operations staff. The focus groups and follow-up discussions helped to crystallize the vision, values, strategic objectives and goals set forth in this Strategic Plan. 8
7 How We Will Use The Strategic Plan CRA/LA will use this Strategic Plan to help us carry out our mission of making strategic investments to create economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for the people who live and work in our neighborhoods. We will track and measure our progress in meeting the SMART goals contained in the Strategic Plan by assigning individual goal owners to each goal. Every goal owner will be responsible for convening a work group to draft an Action Plan to implement his or her assigned goal and for reporting to CRA/LA s Management Team on our progress in achieving each goal on a quarterly basis. Each department director will be responsible for drafting annual performance goals for his or her department tied to the Strategic Plan. Individual staff members will be asked to work with their supervisors to draft annual performance objectives that reflect the staff members role in contributing to the achievement of the Strategic Plan s goals. Each year we will review our Strategic Plan and revise and adjust our goals in light of our progress the previous year. The Strategic Plan will be a living, evolving document as CRA/LA works to help the City achieve its economic development goals. 10
8 VISION This Strategic Plan is an effort to focus our collective energy to create a vision OF A COMPELLING FUTURE that aligns each of our departments and regions to achieve the goals contained in the Strategic Plan. If today was the year 2014, and our efforts to implement the Strategic Plan were successful, the following paragraphs would be the success story that CRA/LA would like to be able to recount: 12
