2023 Innovation Awards: Industry Leader, Affordable Multifamily
For more than 40 years, Little Tokyo Service Center (LTSC) has provided a safety net of social welfare and community development services to empower people and communities in need, starting in its Downtown L.A. home in Little Tokyo. Over the past two years, the community-based nonprofit has begun shepherding four of its 26 properties through demonstration projects as part of a cohort of local affordable multifamily housing owners interested in implementing and providing feedback to utilities and policymakers on the challenges and opportunities of decarbonization. LTSC’s small but ambitious asset management team aims to use experience gained during this process as a blueprint to incrementally implement energy and water efficiency projects across its portfolio in years to come.
