How L.A. County Is Cutting the Red Tape Slowing Affordable Housing

The Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency approved its first $100 million in affordable housing construction funding — and we’re proud to have supported the effort from the beginning.

 

Over the past year, HR&A has been working alongside LACAHSA’s leadership to develop the Agency’s Expenditure Plan and Agency Strategy — designing the financing frameworks, jurisdictional coordination structures, and programmatic toolkit that position LACAHSA to deploy over $380 million annually for housing production, preservation, and renter protection across L.A. County.

 

This week’s funding approval marks a pivotal moment. The LA Times highlighted what makes LACAHSA different: by acting as a true one-stop shop, the agency can reduce development costs by as much as 12% and cut months off project timelines — translating directly into more units built faster.

 

Congratulations to LACAHSA CEO Ryan Johnson, Board Chair Mayor Rex Richardson, and the entire LACAHSA team on this milestone!
