Stewarding a community-first vision for the Taylor Yard River Project rooted in equity and opportunity, where Northeast LA communities thrive in place.
What is the Taylor Yard Equity Strategy (TYES)?
The Taylor Yard Equity Strategy (TYES) is a community-driven effort to ensure the new 100-acre riverfront park at Taylor Yard brings real, lasting benefits to the surrounding communities in Northeast LA (NELA)—without displacing them.
The former Taylor Yard site in Los Angeles carries significant environmental impacts from its 80-year history as a rail yard. Designated as a brownfield, the property’s industrial past left behind environmental contamination that must be addressed.
As longtime residents near Taylor Yard are already facing rising rents and displacement risks, TYES unites community voices to shape policies and programs that protect affordable housing, create local economic opportunities, and help residents remain in their neighborhoods during the cleanup and development of the new park.
Led by the Los Angeles Regional Open Space and Affordable Housing Collaborative (LAROSAH), along with the 100 Acre Partnership, Community TYES advocates for Taylor Yard to be more than a beautiful park, but the beginning of a transformation that supports housing equity, environmental justice, and career opportunities for those who have called Northeast LA home for generations.
