Los Angeles County faces a housing crisis largely driven by its aging rental stock, with many affordable units in buildings built before 2000 that require costly upgrades or risk demolition. The region’s old housing infrastructure, combined with limited new construction since the 1950s, has resulted in a significant proportion of affordable rentals that are deteriorating or threatened.

Policymakers are considering strategies such as targeted preservation, subsidies, and zoning reforms to maintain affordable housing amid limited private sector incentives to build affordable units.
