Our Mission Statement
From Lot to Spot’s (FLTS) mission is to stimulate and contribute to community economic development in blighted communities by facilitating the creation of accessible green and open spaces. We promote social and economic revitalization through beautification through the creation of park spaces from vacant, blighted lots. FLTS strives to address the need and inequity of park/green space in underserved and blighted neighborhoods in the greater Los Angeles area.
From Lot to Spot, through its vision of empowering neighborhoods one vacant lot at a time, works to empower residents by ensuring community participation and collaboration in every step of the decision-making process involved in creating these spaces and improving their neighborhoods.
Looking Foward
Thu, 01/03/2008 - 3:13pm — viviana2007 proved to be a very fortunate year for From Lot to Spot. We have been surrounded by people, leaders, organizations and movements that are working to create a healthier, greener Los Angeles. As development projects most often are, it has been a difficult but very rewarding experience working on our first project in the City of Hawthorne. The community has come together to voice their concerns, request they be heard and work to revitalize their community. It is clear these communities are fighting for services they need, for revitalization they deserve and for their own distinct identities. It is the goal of From Lot to Spot to facilitate the necessary dialogue and action to create change in these neighborhoods.

Spot on the GO
Thu, 07/26/2007 - 9:08pm — vivianaHere it is. It is here.
The Spot.
On the Go.
Here is the conceptual representative of what could be; of the possibilities. In travel form.
One square of sod, one hand made bench, one plant acting as a tree.
This is the Spot.
The Lot could be in your neighborhood. Could be your community. Could be your house. Could be your desk. Could be your kitchen table.
It could be anywhere.
What it represents? What it could mean to your neighborhood? What it could add to your community? What is could mean to your sense of space? Imagine the possibilities…
WANT TO TAKE A SPOT HOME? - COMING SOON…
