ConnectLA

ConnectLA Housing was developed to create a “one stop shop” for affordable housing information, simplifying the process for low-income users to access information that is frequently fragmented and spread out among several agencies. ConnectLA’s main goal is to empower underserved populations in Los Angeles by providing them with information that will equip them with the tools necessary to make more informed choices.

ConnectLA Housing also seeks to make more up-to-date housing data available to affordable housing developers, policy makers, public officials and advocates in support of creating more housing units. Our goal is to work with the various housing agencies to make affordable housing data more easily accessible to the public via the web.
