Our History
The Historic Core Business Improvement District (BID) was established to revitalize and maintain the historic heart of Downtown Los Angeles. Our district encompasses some of the city's most iconic landmarks and cultural institutions.
From the golden age of Hollywood premieres on Broadway to the vibrant arts scene of today, the Historic Core has always been at the center of Los Angeles culture and commerce.
We work tirelessly to preserve the architectural heritage while fostering economic growth and community engagement for residents and visitors alike.
Our Neighborhood
Our community is made up of nearly 1:1 market rate and low income housing. The Historic Core was the epicenter of residential growth during the early 2000s with the adaptive reuse ordinance, where previously abandoned or underutilized office and manufacturing was converted to housing. Along with the new units, under the 2005 Residential Hotel Ordinance, thousands of units of low income and permanent supportive housing were preserved.

Our Staff
Public Safety
Patrol Solutions supplies the Historic Core with a conscientious team of officers trained to patrol by bike and by foot. They serve the community 24 hours a day every day by often being first responders and liaisons between the community and other city agencies. We also have personnel dedicated to outreach purposes to local unsheltered people. Considering the number of service providers just blocks from our district, it makes sense to coordinate with non-profit experts in the field.
