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 people who live in Northeast LA (NELA) neighborhoods.

As longtime residents in the areas near the Taylor Yard development face rising rents and the risk of displacement, TYES brings together community voices to shape policies and programs that protect affordable housing, build local wealth, and keep residents rooted.

Led by LAROSAH through 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.
