HACLA invests in people and places and has embarked on a “Build First” strategy for redevelopment and relocation in many neighborhoods within the city limits. From the beginning, they include the community in each redevelopment location to help shape it into the vision of the community.
“JOA shares the vision of HACLA to provide more than a place to live,” says Scott Simpson, Program Director at JOA. “We are honored to have been awarded an additional 5-year contract to continue supporting the agency with its mission.”
Over the last five years, JOA has provided support on several housing projects with the City, including Jordan Downs in Watts—a $1.5B neighborhood community revitalization program, Rose Hill Courts neighborhood redevelopment, and Project Homekey program acquisitions across the entire City of Los Angeles.
“The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles plays an important role in creating residential opportunities for the community,” said Jeff Oviedo, President of JOA. “We are proud to bring our expertise to support HACLA as they expand and improve housing across Los Angeles.”
