LOS ANGELES — NBC Los Angeles is reporting the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is tagging $9 million for a loan program aimed at spurring affordable housing near its stations.
The Metro Affordable Transportation Connected Housing Program is part of a public-private partnership to loan money to developers to build more affordable housing within a half-mile of transit lines, which in turn could encourage more ridership.
