The need for affordable housing across the U.S. has never been greater. In Los Angeles, the need is increasingly visible.
“You see people without a home all the time walking on the sidewalk,” said Jason Neal, Asset Manager at National CORE. “It’s a constant reminder of the housing crisis every day.”
Growing the housing inventory requires a multifaceted approach. Members of the LA affordable housing industry offer a few places to start.
