Conclusions 2/3rds of the proposed housing will be for those who make above the median family income in Boyle Heights and only 1/3 for those who make below. There are 9,749 families who make $35,000 or less but only 102 units will be built for them. However 178 units will be built for 3,049 families who make between $35,000 and $50,000. Fewer housing will be built for those at lower income levels and more housing will be built for those at higher income levels. This should be reversed to truly reflect and address the need in Boyle Heights. The starting point for calculating who can qualify for the new housing is based on LA County Area Median Income of $81,500. Developers should use the median family income of the local neighborhood so that more people can qualify in low income communities Developers and the MTA should seek out and take the time to seek out various sources of unrestricted funds that will allow for the developer to build more housing at lower income levels.
