We Transform Underserved Communities into Placemaking Destinations

 Our Mission

We are committed to transforming Metro transit-oriented communities in underserved communities into placemaking destinations. We are the subject matter expert on how to significantly address the housing crisis.

  • It is our obligation to enable each generation to prosper more than the previous one. We aspire to impact underserved generations through access to equitable spaces where generational wealth is built.

 
 

The Vision

 

How it Works

The initiative is called The Accelerated Housing and Transit Development Project (AHTD)

  • The AWTD adds 100,000 fourplex homes, 50,000 to existing single-family lots (by adding 3-prefabricated units to each lot) and 50,000 new builds, over the next seven to ten years. Each redevelopment includes one very-low-income unit along with mixed generational tenancy. AWTD is modeled after the successfully implemented Public Private Partnerships (P3) utilized by the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and the development of the new City of Long Beach Government Center. AWTD utilizes existing Metro transit-oriented development studies to create placemaking destinations in underserved communities.

Urban Magic: The Playbook

Message from the Author: “After 4 decades of seeing studies of what is needed, what has worked in other communities that does not exist in ours, I wrote Urban Magic to explain how we make the changes through business transactions.”

Urban Magic offers a powerful argument for confronting the endemic and longstanding obstacles to economic growth and development of underserved neighborhoods in Los Angeles and anywhere else in America where city council members have the skills and motivation to bring about sustainable change in partnership with communities.

  • This book provides a blueprint, we can start RIGHT NOW to develop the strategies needed to transform underserved communities into modern places to live, work, and visit. It stresses the need to be relentless, consistent, and work together continuously to nurture our youth and help our communities to become self-sustaining and to afford the quality of life that each person needs to be successful. The book's purpose is to create tangible economic and community development changes that so many are asking for and deserve.
