On July 6, 20022, Central City Association of Los Angeles (CCA) released a white paper with recommendations to encourage larger-scale affordable housing to better serve economically vulnerable residents and meet the magnitude of the city’s compounding affordable housing and homelessness crises.

CCA’s white paper offers industry-backed recommendations for developing larger-scale affordable housing projects to better utilize public funding and unlock more 100 percent privately funded, deed-restricted affordable housing.

Recommendations include: strategically streamlining local zoning laws, allowing mass timber construction in dense areas of the city, creating an LA County affordable housing agency and revising public funding rules to incentivize higher-volume housing developments, among other strategies.

ULI-LA is excited about this step forward in addressing the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles and eager to help put these recommendations into action.
