LA needs more than housing policy. It needs stories people can see and feel.

Frame the Future! is an open competition inviting designers, artists, writers, and students to reframe how Angelenos imagine housing.

Prizes up to $3,000.
Submit by Mar 31.

Los Angeles just made it easier to turn empty offices and stores into homes!
The Citywide Adaptive Reuse Ordinance helps convert older commercial buildings into housing across the city, with fewer delays and less red tape.
This is one way LA can add homes faster, using buildings we already have.

Why is housing so expensive in Los Angeles?

It is not just supply and demand. It is decades of rules built to exclude, from parking mandates to outdated building codes.

Join Housing 101 to learn the history behind the crisis!
