About The Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative

The NRI was create primarily for the benefit of low-income families, to the City of Los Angeles prevent or eliminate slums or blight, and to meet an urgent community development need.

Urban Renewal 2-Year Plan

NRI’s strategic plan for 2005-2007 includes the new construction of a mixed-use, community-based center incorporating a rich mixture of affordable homes, shops, civic places, and offices in conjunction with amenities, open space, and quality design on urban in-fill lots. The project will stimulate investment, eliminate blight on the property, help to attract and retain businesses, create a balanced environment and generate revenue.

NRI contributes to the Students At Work Initiative (SAW) and over the long-term, will ensure that SAW becomes self-sufficient, less reliant on government and charitable contributions.
