Little Saigon 2030 Action Plan

Completed in August 2022, the Little Saigon 2030 Action Plan sets forth a Vision and supporting Goals and Actions for the neighborhood over the next decade. It provides a road map to guide the community as well as public and private partners as they work together to achieve the Vision. This Action Plan was developed over the course of a year by a Leadership Committee and Little Saigon community members. 

Neighborhood Vision Statement
“Little Saigon is home to a diverse community, a thriving hub for Vietnamese and Southeast Asian small businesses, and a resilient reflection of the neighborhood’s rich history and culture. It is a complete neighborhood with easy access to culture, shopping, services, housing, work, leisure, food, health, and education.”

Goals
Goals are long-term outcomes the community hopes to achieve by implementing the Action Plan. They are aspirational, expressing the community’s collective desires and values.

    • Diverse small businesses: diverse small businesses and entrepreneurs reflect the community’s identity and meet their needs.
    • Housing affordability: housing options are affordable to seniors, families, the workforce, and those in need of supportive housing.
    • Reduced crime: crime such as assault, robbery, and burglary –as well as lesser crime like vandalism and theft– is reduced.
    • Cleanliness: streets, sidewalks, and public spaces are clean.
    • Infrastructure & amenities: physical infrastructure –including walkable streets, green spaces, and neighborhood services– support public health.
    • Collaboration: there is strong communication, collaboration, and shared advocacy across the community.
