New $1 Billion NoHo Development Will Have Segregated Affordable Housing

In a joint project between Los Angeles Metro and two private development companies, the North Hollywood station’s park-and-ride lot is proposed to be replaced with a $1 billion mixed-use complex called District NoHo. Only 20% of its units will be dedicated to affordable housing, and those units will be segregated from the rest of the development. 

Metro entered into an exclusive negotiating agreement (ENA) with developers Trammell Crow Company and High Street Residential in the summer of 2016. The current project is planned to be built on 16 acres of public land…

…A 2019 report from the California Housing Partnership and the Southern California Association of Nonprofit Housing stated that LA needed to build over 516,946 units of affordable housing in order to keep up with the current demand for low-income renters.
