IRS990/Desc0Water LA Neighborhood Retrofits Project: Building on the successful Los Angeles Rainwater Harvesting Project, this project will implement additional parkway basins and residential retrofits, expanding our program of urban acupuncture to residents in climate vunerable communities in the upper LA River watershed. During this period, partners at the City failed to meet their funding commitment, necessitating a restructuring of the project scope and schedule with our other partners. The River Project published a comprehensive Water LA Report describing the background, process, and outcomes of the initial pilot, furthered development of educational materials, including a set of How-To guidebooks, continued development of an interactive project website (www.waterla.org), and initiated community engagement.
