Background 

On December 13, 1994, the City Council of the City of Los Angeles adopted the ordinance to establish the Earthquake Disaster Assistance Project for Portions of Council District 3 in response to the economic and physical recovery needs resulting from the 1994 Northridge Earthquake.

 

The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) has the responsibility to carry out the Project’s purpose of providing for and facilitating the repair, restoration, demolition, and/or replacement of earthquake-damaged properties and taking actions necessary for the economic recovery of communities impacted by this disaster in response to the area’s economic and physical recovery needs resulting from the January 1994 Earthquake.
For more information please see our Redevelopment Plan.
