Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky says L.A. has approved just 3% of 184,000 affordable rental units L.A. promised by 2029.
The Los Angeles City Council agreed on Tuesday, June 16 to codify key provisions ofthe process for developing affordable and supportive housing, permanently exempting 100% affordable housing proposals from the city’s lengthy discretionary review process.
. Since the mayor signed the executive directive, it has “dramatically cut” approval time for those projects from an average of six months to just 37 days, officials said. Yaroslavsky urged her colleagues to support her motion, saying that the city has approved less than 3% of the more than 184,000 very low and low-income units they committed to build by 2029.
