1000 Homes<br />
1000 Homes is an initiative focused on helping to end chronic homelessness<br />
in LA County. The involvement of the private sector in the battle to end chronic<br />
homelessness is critical in order to develop solutions that are effective, practical,<br />
and attainable. <strong>ULI</strong> <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> partnered with UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate,<br />
Corporation for Supportive Housing, Shelter Partnership, Inc., Westside <strong>Urban</strong><br />
Forum in this effort.<br />
Development Competition<br />
1000 Homes Development Competition inspired young professionals to create<br />
feasible solutions that integrate development, design, and social services. Each<br />
team was matched up with a public-sector sponsor to propose a supportive housing<br />
project in one of the competition cities. The design objective was to meet the unique<br />
needs of the community. The winners of the competition for their proposal to the<br />
City of Glendale included: Jed Tarr, Connor Humphreys, Laura Leavitt, MSW, Derek<br />
Leavitt, AIA, and Idalia Santos.<br />
Mobile Tours<br />
This past year, participants had the opportunity to walk through several exemplary<br />
permanent supportive housing projects, learning directly from the development<br />
executives that put the projects together, and hearing from elected officials that<br />
championed these challenging projects into reality.<br />
