Student Work

This report, prepared for the Thai Community Development Center, a nonprofit community-based organization, outlines the current need for a Community Plan Implementation Overlay (CPIO) in Thai Town and highlights the needs and benefits a specific plan can bring. Thai Town, a six-block neighborhood nestled in East Hollywood, and its residents understand what is necessary to implement their vision into reality. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach in the form of data gathering at outreach events and finding data via the U.S. Census and other publicly accessible data, this study lays the groundwork for establishing key themes that the CPIO should emphasize based on community engagement data.
