Mission
LA Más designs and builds initiatives that promote neighborhood resilience and elevate the agency of working class communities of color.
Vision
We envision a Northeast Los Angeles where communities of color have equitable access to the power and resources needed to shape their futures.
Our Work
LA Más builds relationships with residents to shape community-serving projects that are collaborative, inclusive, and actionable. We partner with local residents to implement initiatives that support residents and promote greater social equity. In our community of northeast LA, LA Más is leading a grassroots initiative to identify on-the-ground needs and support community-led projects. Currently, this is taking place through the Northeast LA Community Response, where we are connecting residents to immediate resources during COVID-19. Across the city and county of Los Angeles, we have two programs that address the need for affordable housing and community-serving small businesses. Through the Backyard Homes Project, we work with homeowners to build affordable housing for low-income renters, and through Storefronts, LA, we work with minority-owned small businesses to make sure they have the resources to serve their communities.
We help communities shape their own growth.
