Confronting the Land Use Challenges to Housing the Homeless
ULI Los Angeles Symposium and Workshop
On March 4th, the Urban Land Institute Los Angeles District Council organized a full-day symposium and workshop, gathering experts and practitioners to identify the land use challenges obstructing housing solutions for the region’s unhoused communities.
Just one month after ULI Los Angeles initial gathering, everything changed. The impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus) has catalyzed urgent, unprecedented action to provide more adequate shelter and sanitation services to the region’s most vulnerable residents. Although an incomplete solution, the political actions have been one positive step towards protecting health and providing shelter.
Beyond the extent of this pandemic, ULI Los Angeles aims to play a role in better understanding issues stifling the mass deployment of supportive housing of all types. As part of a multi-year effort, this primer serves as a roadmap for future research and strategic actions to support the efforts of reducing homelessness.

In 2022, the Terwilliger Center for Housing, with initial funding by philanthropist and entrepreneur Preston Butcher, launched the Homeless to Housed Initiative, which works to explore real estate solutions to the growing crisis impacting communities everywhere.
