Housing Investments Vision An affordable home in a thriving neighborhood for every Angeleno We have focused our efforts on two areas: 1. Low-income housing near transit 2. Housing with supportive services to address homelessness
Measure R: 2008
Measure M: 2016
Research Grants Jointly funded research that found: low-income residents near transit comprise the majority of transit. Increased ridership equals lower vehicle usage which translates to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Example of a Direct Loan Impact: Transforms 48 existing units into 140 affordable family homes Community Benefits: o 6,500 sf community health clinic o 1,500 sf of community serving retail o Steps from Metro stop
Results of Research and Partnerships 1. New funding source of permanent financing State approves portion of Cap & Trade funding for affordable housing 2. Metro changes policies Metro approved a 35% affordable housing goal on its own portfolio Metro invests $9 million into a loan fund Metro changes how it disposes of land 3.

The Approach Cross-sector partnerships, coordinated funding, a Housing First System (CES), data-driven policy & systems change, building public & political will.
