Unlocking affordable housing for all Angelenos

LA4LA is a first-of-its-kind government, philanthropy and private sector alliance formed to unlock affordable housing options in Los Angeles at scale and speed. 

Combining philanthropic and mission-based capital, LA4LA is working alongside Mayor Karen Bass to build an inclusive Los Angeles we can all be proud to call home. Because we love LA and the people of LA, we want to take care of everyone who calls LA home. 

LA4LA is taking a multi-faceted approach to address 3 key issues challenging the solutions to homelessness in our city:

1

Current funding and leasing models are too burdensome to provide rapid housing. We are leveraging the flexibility of philanthropy and the innovation of new financing models to rapidly scale temporary and permanent housing availability.

2

Solutions to the intersecting issues surrounding homelessness—housing, healthcare, job creation, and more—are siloed across too many public service organizations. We are the catalyst for unlocking deep collaboration among those most able to advance housing innovation.

3

Convening expertise and capacity to execute on the Mayor’s mission to build more housing. We develop systemic changes that unlock thousands of entitled, yet unbuilt housing units. We allocate resources and fund experts to get us to faster, more affordable housing at scale. 

LA4LA profoundly believes that to be of Los Angeles does not mean you have to be from Los Angeles. As such, we welcome—and will similarly share—all advancements made towards housing anyone, everywhere in the world. Please contact us to share and collaborate around innovations to deliver housing right now.

LA4LA is a first of its kind in Los Angeles: a public-private partnership housed with the California Community Foundation and launched with support from the Hilton Foundation. 

LA4LA is a component fund of CCF Community Initiatives Fund (CCF-CIF), a supporting organization of the California Community Foundation.
