Bradley Signs Housing Ordinance Into Law

Mayor Tom Bradley on Friday signed into law an ordinance creating a city Housing Preservation and Production Department and a Commission on Affordable Housing.

The mayor’s office announced earlier that the department would be formed so the city’s housing programs could be centralized into a single agency with a mandate to analyze the affordable housing crisis and implement programs to provide more housing.

“A comprehensive examination of housing issues in this city is necessary for us to address this problem that depletes the quality of life for too many Los Angeles residents,” Bradley said.
