Pueblo del Rio / Pueblo del Rio Extension Public Housing

The City of Los Angeles is undertaking a major modernization of the Pueblo del Rio and Pueblo del Rio Extension public housing developments using funding from CA16P004-501-26 to improve living conditions and ensure regulatory compliance. The project encompasses a wide range of structural and safety upgrades, including full ADA compliance modifications across all units, asbestos abatement, tile replacements, exterior cladding and painting, and comprehensive repairs to concrete walkways, parking lots, sidewalks, and interior streets. Interior modernizations will include electrical system upgrades, stabilization and removal of lead-based paint and mold, repairs to fire damage, and routine updates to dwelling units. Utility infrastructure will be renewed with replacement of aging gas, water, and sewer lines, and all buildings will receive new 20-year roofs. Additional improvements include upgraded playgrounds, exercise equipment, fencing, and the installation of new safety and security measures such as security cameras, improved exterior lighting, and enhanced fencing to promote resident safety. The project benefits low-income residents of the Pueblo del Rio communities in Los Angeles, specifically in the 90058 zip code area, by transforming outdated and deteriorating infrastructure into safe, accessible, and modern housing environments. The work is being managed through the City of Los Angeles with Shelly Lo, Environmental Supervisor, listed as the primary point of contact for inquiries. The initiative reflects a holistic approach to public housing revitalization, aiming to enhance health, safety, and quality of life while meeting federal and state regulatory requirements. The project was forecasted on July 7, 2026, and further details can be accessed through the provided California Environmental Quality Act website link.
