CHIP will help Los Angeles build more affordable homes for people of all income levels, but we need your help in making it a reality. Join the pro-housing consensus and make your voice heard!

Housing, especially affordable housing, faces many challenges due to L.A.’s existing review process – great projects are often stymied by people who are comfortably housed while our homeless neighbors and others experiencing housing insecurity continue to be ignored in the process. We need to expedite the construction of housing so more people can live in a stable, affordable home in L.A.

CHIP provides incentives for builders, including:

State Density Bonus Program: Since the adoption of the City’s Density Bonus Ordinance in 2008, numerous state bills have made significant amendments to the State’s Density Bonus Law. The program aims to make key revisions to align with the State Density Bonus Law.

Mixed-Income Incentive Program: The Mixed Income Incentive Program intends to codify new incentives for housing development projects along Opportunity Corridors and projects constructing Missing Middle typologies in Higher Opportunity Areas. Additionally, this program will memorialize transit-based incentives currently housed in the Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) Affordable Housing Incentive Guidelines.

Affordable Housing Incentive Program: The Affordable Housing Incentive Program offers new incentives for 100% Affordable Housing Projects with additional incentives for Higher and Moderate Resource areas. This program will also provide citywide tailored incentives for sites where residential uses are currently restricted, including sites owned by faith-based organizations, publicly owned land, and sites zoned for parking.

Join us in calling on Mayor Bass and Los Angeles leaders to support the CHIP Ordinance by working with other City officials and commissions to pass it into law. It’s time to get the ball rolling on new projects across the city.
