On behalf of the Westside Urban Forum, HR&A prepared a model affordable rental housing production program for this association of Los Angeles area public and private sector land use and planning professionals. The project included a detailed review of the policies, programs and laws by which rental housing is now being produced in five cities located on the Westside of the Los Angeles metro. It also included an analysis of the development costs for five case study affordable housing projects and comparisons of affordable and market rate rental housing development costs. The model program identified potential procedural, policy, legal and financial mechanisms which, if adopted by the Westside cities, that could significantly increase the production of new rental units affordable to very low-, low- and moderate-income households.
