$1 billion $ makeover for Jordan Downs housing project
Wake up L.A., the Jordan Downs Watts housing project, is scheduled to undergo a $1-billion $ overhaul to turn it into an “urban village” of shops, town homes, a park and gardens. The plan is to replace the current 700 units into 1,800 new apartments and streetscapes designed to attract higher-income people to live here in L.A.
The Jordan Downs project has been viewed as a potential model for encouraging more public housing redevelopment projects that blend various income levels in a single community, with physical structures that are more integrated to the surrounding community. The Housing Authority has already spent $45 million to purchase the land and prepare for the New Development project, which is near Jordan High School and Metro Blue Line. In addition there are two other housing projects within the same South Los Angeles district being watched very anxiously to see how successful this project will be.
