Please join AIA Los Angeles, ULI-LA, and Neighborhood Housing Services on Thursday, December 14, 2023, at 8:00 AM for a public announcement and discussion of the Accelerated Wealth Transit Development initiative.

This event will be held at the California Community Foundation – 717 West Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012.

Accelerated Wealth Transit Development (AWTD) is a laser-focused initiative targeting a half-mile hub around 24 Metro light rail stations in underserved communities. Our investment strategy revitalizes infrastructure, accelerates equitable housing development, and renews parks and public spaces. It’s a powerful push to transform the physical landscape, fortify safety, bolster sustainability, and dramatically improve living and business conditions and the public transit experience for the next five decades and beyond.
