About Us
Our mission is to promote, maintain, and develop with interested stakeholders, a shared vision for our 170-year-old Chinatown community in Los Angeles that focuses on sustaining and improving our diverse, multi-ethnic neighborhood and protecting our legacy businesses, historically and culturally significant institutions, and residents who have among the lowest household incomes in Los Angeles. Currently, we are involved with ensuring community partnering and participation in the master planning process so that underutilized Los Angeles County-owned properties, such as Lot 45 and other related or relevant properties in L.A. Chinatown, are developed or redeveloped in accordance and consistently with the shared community vision.

“Immensely proud to secure $1.5 million in federal funding to build 100 units of affordable housing in Chinatown!” Representative Jimmy Gomez
We came together with like minded people to turn Lot 45 into housing that will serve the Chinatown community. We are happy to announce that at the request of Supervisor Hilda Solis 1.5M was given to LA County by Representative Gomez to do a study on how to turn Lot 45 into affordable housing in Chinatown. We are aiming for 400 hundred extreme low-income to low-income units to be placed on Lot 45. We will share more details as things continue to develop. It was a great day today! May 4, 2022
In the aftermath of the mass shooting in Monterey Park, the Chinatown Community Coalition L.A. (CCC-LA) members are concerned about the needs of everyone after the tragedy.
We recognize the difficulties immigrants and people of color (POC) face, often silently. If you need help, we encourage you to seek free psychological counseling from the Chinatown Service Center CSC or the American Red Cross. There is also a free care base in the Langley Center in Monterey Park. Our collective goal is to help restore everyone's peace of mind through the strength of our community.
CCC-LA wants to stop the proliferation of violence and hatred toward our community. With your help, we can stem the tide of violence and hate. Act with vigilance by reporting bad acts such as violence and hate-infused statements directed at members of our community. In this way, we can create a safer community.
In addition, access to and the proliferation of guns are two key factors that caused this and many other tragedies. We want to encourage legislative officials to implement common sense laws to manage guns used for self-defense. The current system allows people experiencing mental health issues easy access to powerful guns, resulting in thousands of deaths.

We wish you a peaceful and safe year ahead.
