The Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council (DLANC) is the closest form of government to the people. We are an advisory governmental body of the City of Los Angeles that advocates for our community on important issues like land-use, homelessness, housing, land use, emergency preparedness, public safety, parks, transportation, sustainability, and more. We provide local expertise and a local voice on the delivery of city services to the communities in Downtown Los Angeles.

The Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council (“DLANC”) is governed by a 24-member Board of Directors, whose members are volunteer city officials elected by our community every two years. Our Board of Directors are composed of residential and business representation from five assigned geographic areas of downtown including social services providers, and homeless residents. We have five board officer positions, nine standing committees, and appointed liaisons and alternate board members.
