LANI partners with residents, businesses, community groups and local leaders to create walkable, green, safe neighborhoods with equitable access to resources, open spaces, public transit, and economic opportunity. We promote community members as the experts on their own neighborhoods, and implement neighborhood-scale infrastructure and improvement projects from concept to completion. Our work combines expert project management with deep community outreach that empowers local stakeholders and generates substantive communal decision-making. We educate stakeholders so that together we can balance varying interests with on-the-ground realities, political considerations, and constraints such as timeline and budget, resulting in completed projects with high levels of community support and satisfaction. Founded in 1994, LANI has helped revitalize more than 50 low and mixed-income neighborhoods in Los Angeles County.
