About this Event
Join us as we celebrate a decade of transformation and community at Jordan Downs!
This special event at Turtle Park will feature a short program highlighting the vision, milestones and impact of the redevelopment effort, followed by refreshments.
This milestone would not be possible without the partnership and dedication of many, including the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA), housing partners BRIDGE Housing and The Michaels Organization, and retail partner Primestor.
About the Redevelopment of Jordan Downs
Jordan Downs was originally built in the 1940s as temporary housing during World War II. It was then converted to public housing in the 1950s. By the late 1990s, the aging buildings were suffering from significant capital investment needs. As a result, HACLA initiated a plan in collaboration with residents and stakeholders to redevelop Jordan Downs into a model mixed-use, mixed-income community.
Together with development partners The Michaels Organization and BRIDGE Housing, HACLA is transforming Jordan Downs into a vibrant urban village designed to reshape the surrounding Watts neighborhood and provide programs and services to improve the lives of current and future generations. After 10 years of investment, tremendous progress has been made.
When fully completed, the revitalized Jordan Downs will offer over 1,500 new affordable and market-rate housing units in addition to all new roads and infrastructure, including the new Century Boulevard. The redeveloped community will also include a neighborhood retail center, ground-floor commercial and amenity spaces, a large community center, and nine acres of new parks, in addition to job opportunities for residents and childcare options.
The long-term, public-private redevelopment effort sets a new precedent for public housing across the entire country.
