Read City Planning Annual Report (Annual Report 2018)

Message from the mayor, Eric Garcetti

Dear Friends,

Angelenos know that confronting our greatest economic and social challenges requires immediate action and a long-term plan, which is why all of us are standing united to end the most urgent moral and humanitarian crisis of our time: homelessness. Thanks to the hard work of our City Planning Department, this past year we saw new projects break ground and new policies emerge that are helping to ensure every Angeleno has a roof over their head and a pillow under it. From enacting the Permanent Supportive Housing and Motel Conversion Ordinances to being on track to meet our goal of permitting 100,000 housing units by 2021, we are using every available resource to connect all Angelenos with a place to call home. I am proud to share these accomplishments in the City Planning Department’s Annual Report. As we begin a new year bright with opportunity, I am confident that working together we will build an even stronger, more equitable Los Angeles — a City of opportunity for all.
