Stewarding a community-first vision rooted in equity and opportunity of the 100 Acre Partnership Projects at Taylor Yard, for Northeast LA communities to thrive in place.
What is the Taylor Yard Equity Strategy (TYES)?
The Taylor Yard Equity Strategy (TYES) is a community-driven effort to ensure that the 100 acres of riverfront park space 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 railyard. 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 largest, continuous open space along the Los Angeles River.
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 just a series of beautiful parks, 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
OUR goals with Community Tyes
Who’s Involved with Community Tyes?
LA Rosah
The Los Angeles Regional Open Space and Affordable Housing Collaborative (LA ROSAH) is the coalition leading Community TYES. LA ROSAH advances housing justice and park equity while working to prevent displacement. The Southeast Asian Community Alliance (SEACA), Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust (LANLT), and Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR) are the LA ROSAH coalition members stewarding the TYES project.
100 Acre Partnership
Three public agencies are leading the 100 Acre Partnership projects at Taylor Yard: the Bureau of Engineers from the City of Los Angeles, California State Parks, and the Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority (MRCA). They launched Community TYES in response to concerns from NELA's communities about rising rents and displacement.
