How to use this map

What is this?

An affordable housing covenant is an agreement between the City and property owners to offer units for rent under market rate. Many affordable units are located in mixed-income buildings with market rate units. This map helps the public find where all of these affordable housing units are located.

Reading the map

01
Each dot is a building
Every dot represents one building with an affordable housing covenant. Bigger dots mean more units in that building.
02
Clusters group nearby buildings
When you're zoomed out, nearby buildings group into a single circle showing the count. Click a cluster to zoom in and see the individual buildings.
03
Green outlines are Council Districts
The faint green boundaries on the map show LA's 15 City Council Districts. The label (e.g. CD 4) marks each district.

Using the filters

04
Open the filters panel
Tap the Filters button (top-right on mobile) or use the panel on the left on desktop. Close it any time with the ✕ button.
05
Search by address or ZIP
Type part of a street name (e.g. Sepulveda) or a ZIP code (e.g. 90011) to narrow down the dots shown on the map.
06
Filter by year and unit count
Use the year range slider to focus on covenants from a specific period. Use the minimum-units slider to only see larger buildings.
07
Filter by Council District
Tap district numbers to toggle them on or off. Use Select all / Clear all to reset.

Finding a property

08
Click a dot for details
Tap any dot to see the address, year, ZIP, and how many affordable units the building has.
09
Google the address
Copy the address into Google to find listings, property managers, or contact info — the map shows where buildings are, not how to apply.
10
See if it's built
Some addresses haven't finished construction yet. Use Google Street View or visit in person to confirm the building is open before applying.
