Today, Livable Places announced they are closing their doors.
It is with great sadness that we inform you that Livable Places is closing. Seven years ago, our board of directors set ambitious goals for a new nonprofit organization to advocate for land use policy reform, and to develop affordable housing that demonstrated the feasibility of smart growth. Since then, Livable Places has worked on multiple policy issues and initiated two developments offering 160 homes and leveraging $60 million as we strived to build for-sale housing affordable to working people with minimal subsidy.
Read the rest at their website.
We got to know the good people at Livable Places as we began working for solutions to the housing crisis in Hollywood and around LA. Beth Steckler is a great advocate for affordable housing and once came to the Hollywood Church to give their presentation about livable communities.
Thanks, Livable Places, for all your good work. It's a shame to see events unfolding like this.
