THE WELL BUILDING<br />
STANDARD: HEALTHY<br />
BUILDINGS, HEALTHY<br />
PEOPLE<br />
by Sarah Andrews, LEED AP BD+C, USGBC Faculty<br />
People spend approximately 90% of their time in<br />
enclosed spaces, whether at home, an office, school, or<br />
other building. The WELL <strong>Build</strong>ing Standard version 2<br />
(WELL v2) is grounded in a body of medical research<br />
that explores the connection between buildings and<br />
the health and wellness of its occupants. WELL v2<br />
includes a set of strategies that aim to advance human<br />
health through design and operational protocols and<br />
policies which foster a culture of health and cognitive<br />
and emotional well-being. This latest version of WELL<br />
has proven itself to be a scalable and globally applicable<br />
system that is responsive, inclusive and adaptable to fit<br />
any environment or organization.<br />
WELL v2 is founded on the following principles:<br />
• Equitable: Aims to benefit a variety of people,<br />
including and especially disadvantaged or vulnerable<br />
populations.<br />
• Global: Proposes interventions that are feasible,<br />
achievable and relevant.<br />
• Evidence-based: Draws upon a diverse and rigorous<br />
body of research across varying disciplines.<br />
• Technically robust: Defines industry best practice and<br />
validates strategies through performance verification<br />
and a rigorous third-party verification process.<br />
• Customer-focused: Sponsors the success of WELL<br />
users through dedicated coaching services, dynamic<br />
resources and an intuitive platform for navigating the<br />
journey.<br />
• Resilient: Keeps pace with advances in research,<br />
science, technology and society, continuously<br />
improving by integrating new findings.<br />
There are ten concepts in WELL v2 plus a category to<br />
recognize innovation. Each concept consists of features<br />
with distinct health intents. Certification under the<br />
system is based upon a point structure like the LEED<br />
Rating Systems, and WELL V2 is designed to complement<br />
the strategies in LEED.<br />
The Air concept aims to achieve high levels of indoor<br />
air quality across a building’s lifetime through diverse<br />
strategies that include source elimination or reduction,<br />
active and passive building design and operation<br />
strategies and human behavior interventions. Water<br />
covers aspects of the quality, distribution and control of<br />
liquid water in a building.<br />
The Nourishment concept requires the availability of<br />
fruits and vegetables and nutritional transparency.<br />
Light promotes exposure to light and aims to create<br />
lighting environments that promote visual, mental<br />
and biological health. Movement aims to promote<br />
movement, foster physical activity and active living, and<br />
12 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM
discourage sedentary behavior by creating and enhancing<br />
opportunities through the spaces where we spend our<br />
lives.<br />
Thermal Comfort aims to promote human productivity<br />
and provide a maximum level of thermal comfort among<br />
all building users through improved HVAC system<br />
design and control and by meeting individual thermal<br />
preferences. Sound aims to bolster occupant health<br />
and well-being through the identification and mitigation<br />
of acoustical comfort parameters that shape occupant<br />
experiences in the built environment.<br />
The Materials concept aims to reduce human exposure,<br />
whether direct or through environmental contamination,<br />
to chemicals that may impact health during the<br />
construction, remodeling, furnishing and operation of<br />
buildings. Mind promotes mental health through policy,<br />
program and design strategies that seek to address the<br />
diverse factors that influence cognitive and emotional<br />
well-being.<br />
Community aims to support access to essential<br />
healthcare, build a culture of health that accommodates<br />
diverse population needs and establish an inclusive,<br />
engaged occupant community. Finally, Innovation<br />
features pave the way for projects to develop unique<br />
strategies for creating healthier environments.<br />
WELL is a performance-based system so every project is<br />
verified through on-site testing of building performance.<br />
This process is fundamental to ensuring high-performing<br />
buildings and validates the project through a series of<br />
performance tests, spot checks, and measurements<br />
covering all WELL concepts.<br />
As one of the largest property holders in the US, the<br />
General Services Administration (GSA) has recently<br />
determined that the WELL <strong>Build</strong>ing Standard is the only<br />
system that meets 100% of the health and well being<br />
criteria in the Guiding Principles for federal facilities.<br />
WELL also provides a frame of reference for translating<br />
research into practice to allow people’s health and well<br />
being to take precedence in the built environment.<br />
Companies that foster civic engagement and espouse<br />
equitable and just treatment toward their workforce can<br />
increase employee attraction and retention and improve<br />
financial returns.<br />
Because the people inside are the most valuable resource<br />
in a building it makes sense to prioritize the needs and<br />
experiences of those people in order to ensure the facility<br />
is functioning at a level that allows occupants to be<br />
happy, healthy, and productive.<br />

Frank Lloyd Wright Jr. and Frank Gehry designed the<br />

LOS ANGELES<br />
ARCHITECTURE: A HISTORY<br />
By Adriana Detrinidad<br />
Whether or not we acknowledge or notice, architecture<br />
is a central player in our everyday lives. As we move<br />
through a city or live in our neighborhoods, the<br />
architecture surrounding us affects our minds and the<br />
direction in which we move.<br />
<strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong>, California is no exception to the impact<br />
of architecture. In fact, <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> proves how the<br />
architecture of a region marks its reputation and position<br />
in the world.<br />
Built in 1893, the Bradbury building in downtown <strong>Los</strong><br />
<strong>Angeles</strong> provides a spectacular peek into the past.<br />
The five-story architectural landmark showcases an<br />
extraordinary skylit atrium of access walkways. The<br />
building features Italian marble, Mexican tile, and<br />
decorative terra cotta. It was designed in the thenpopular<br />
Italian Renaissance Revival style. It married<br />
European fashion with local Hispanic influence and<br />
materials. The state’s proximity to Mexico had impressed<br />
upon the multicultural city a Latin American flair.<br />
Downtown Long Beach in <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> County is<br />
renowned for its architectural diversity. It is dotted with<br />
buildings of different styles, such as The First National<br />
Bank <strong>Build</strong>ing designed in a French Renaissance Revival<br />
16 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM<br />
A component of architecture is urban design. <strong>Build</strong>ings<br />
may be designed and erected, but the placement of these<br />
buildings is vital to the health of its community. Urban<br />
design involves the arrangement and design of buildings,<br />
as well as transport systems and services. Frequent<br />
visitors of the city of <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> may have noticed traffic<br />
is as permanent a resident as the people themselves.<br />
The <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> County Metropolitan Transportation<br />
Authority (Metro) has taken note of this and has begun<br />
expanding the rail system to the Westside with the<br />
Purple (D Line) Extension Transit Project. The Purple<br />
Line will extend from Westwood to Wilshire, including<br />
LA’s Miracle Mile which involves Museum Row. Museum<br />
devotees will be happy to know the Purple Line will meet<br />
their need to promenade <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> County Museum of<br />
Art (LACMA), the Petersen Automotive Museum, and La<br />
Brea Tar Pits pavilions to name a few.<br />
Urban design blends architecture, landscape architecture,<br />
and city planning together to make urban areas functional<br />
and attractive (Urban Design, 2021). As much as we want<br />
a site to be beautiful, though, a big question in the world<br />
of architecture is whether a space should be preserved,<br />
repurposed, or demolished and built from scratch. A<br />
repurposed and well visited space in <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> is<br />
vibrant ROW DTLA. The ROW DTLA (formerly known<br />
as Alameda Square), built between 1917 to 1923, was a<br />
national hub for produce growers at one point housed<br />
two of <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong>’ largest wholesale produce markets.<br />
Today, ROW DTLA is a walkable urban environment<br />
comprised of restaurants, boutique retail shops, office<br />
workspaces, outdoor green spaces, art galleries, and<br />
event venues. Rather than destroying a site, the industrial<br />
series of buildings were salvaged and given new life,<br />
ushering in a new generation of creators and consumers,<br />
preserving the past and embracing the future.
Howbeit, preservation may not always be the solution<br />
for a place. The <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> County Museum of Art<br />
(LACMA), known for its large-scale Urban Lights<br />
sculpture, is currently going through major renovations.<br />
Swiss architect Peter Zumthor is lead architect for the<br />
expansion of the museum complex. Several of LACMA’s<br />
older buildings have been demolished to make way for<br />
the addition. Planned within the project is more than<br />
2.5 acres of open space, taking the form of landscaped<br />
plazas and sculpture gardens. According to Sharp (2016),<br />
“the LACMA expansion broke ground in 2018, with<br />
completion scheduled for 2023 to coincide with the<br />
opening of the Purple Line’s Wilshire/Fairfax Station”.<br />
Before there was Metro, there was Union Station.<br />
Built in 1939, <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> Union Station is the largest<br />
railroad passenger terminal in the Western United States<br />
and is widely regarded as “the last of the great train<br />
stations.” The station’s signature style makes it one of<br />
L.A.’s architectural gems (Union Station LA, 2019). The<br />
station was designed with an innovative blend of Spanish<br />
Colonial, Mission Revival and Art Deco architecture<br />
now commonly referred to as Mission Moderne. It was<br />
partially designed by John and Donald Parkinson, the<br />
father-and-son architectural firm who had also designed<br />
<strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> City Hall and other landmark <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong><br />
buildings. They were assisted by a group of supporting<br />
architects, including Jan van der Linden, Dutch-born<br />
architect that suggested Dutch Colonial Revival style be<br />
included in the Union Station design.<br />
Located a stone’s throw away from Union Station is<br />
historic district, Olvera Street. Dating all the way back<br />
to 1930, Olvera Street pays homage to the deeply<br />
rooted Mexican heritage of <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> (Metrolink,<br />
2021). The street offers a market style shopping area<br />
with old structures, painted stalls, street vendors, cafes,<br />
restaurants, and gift shops to explore. The impact and<br />
presence of the Spanish and Mexican conquistadors<br />
in Southern California is evident in this small but<br />
mighty space. And just like the multicultural settlers of<br />
yesteryear, <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> houses other cultural centers<br />
such as Chinatown, Little Tokyo, and Little Ethiopia.<br />
Next time you walk through the City of Angels,<br />
remember to look up and around. Take in the façade,<br />
the skyscrapers, the neighborhoods. If a building looks<br />
remotely interesting from outside, chances are it may<br />
have some historic significance. Architecture can make<br />
or break a city. For <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong>, it has only served to<br />
enhance its beauty and importance in this world.<br />

Commissioning building systems and<br />
conducting regular maintenance are<br />
critical to reducing ventilation issues.<br />
Indoor air quality depends on the<br />
presence and abundance of chemical<br />
and biological pollutants in the indoor<br />
environment that may cause harm.<br />
These chemicals of concern include<br />
volatile organic compounds (VOCs),<br />
semi-volatile compounds in both air and<br />
dust, and synthetic substances contained<br />
in flame retardants, stain repellents, and<br />
plasticizers. Limiting vapor intrusion<br />
and keeping humidity levels between<br />
30-60%, along with conducting regular<br />
air quality testing, can reduce exposure<br />
levels and their associated health<br />
hazards.<br />

Evidence for Health” series. This series of 2-page summaries applies to<br />
all building types, including homes, and offers a framework to understand<br />
how the indoor environment can affect building occupants and ways to<br />
improve indoor conditions. This article is based upon the concepts and<br />
guidance in “The 9 Foundations of a Healthy <strong>Build</strong>ing,” written in 2017.<br />
The nine foundations, as named in the report, are ventilation, air<br />
quality, thermal health, moisture, dust and pests, safety and security,<br />
water quality, noise, and lighting and views. Each foundation area<br />
highlights problems typically found inside buildings and then supplies<br />
strategies and best management practices to minimize or remediate the<br />
shortcomings.<br />
Outdoor pollutants can penetrate indoors, and because the average<br />
person spends approximately 90% of their time indoors, most of a<br />
person’s exposure to outdoor air pollution occurs indoors. Substandard<br />
air turnover can affect cognitive function. One recommendation made<br />
is to meet or exceed local air ventilation rate guidelines to provide<br />
sufficient filtered fresh air to reduce contaminants in the indoor spaces.<br />

Thermal health goes beyond thermal<br />
comfort, a condition of the human<br />
mind that expresses satisfaction with<br />
the surrounding environment. The<br />
negative effects on health include<br />
allergic reactions, sick building syndrome,<br />
negative mood, fatigue, and respiratory<br />
symptoms. To maximize the positive<br />
effects of an occupant’s surroundings,<br />
it is vital to keep conditions consistent<br />
throughout the day, supply individual<br />
level comfort control where possible, and<br />
survey the spaces regularly to find zones<br />
that underperform.<br />
Up to 36% of homes have mold, mildew,<br />
or water damage, and 85% of office<br />
buildings have been damaged by water.<br />
Moisture-related indoor exposure is a<br />
primary concern for preventing asthma<br />
and other respiratory conditions.<br />
Common sources of moisture include<br />
leaks from plumbing, roofs and windows,<br />
wet foundations, and condensation<br />
on cold surfaces from poor insulation.<br />
Identifying and immediately remediating<br />
the underlying sources of moisture<br />
following removal of damaged or<br />
contaminated materials is crucial to<br />
the health and well-being of building<br />
occupants.<br />
Dust acts as a reservoir for harmful<br />
agents, including particles, viruses,<br />
bacteria, chemicals, allergens, building<br />
materials, dander, fabric fibers, paint<br />
flakes, and dust mites. Contaminants are
continuously suspended and resuspended in the indoor<br />
environment by walking through areas or other daily tasks<br />
like vacuuming or folding laundry. Humans are exposed<br />
to these contaminants through inhalation, dermal<br />
absorption, and ingestion from hand-to-mouth behaviors.<br />
We are shrouded in a cloud much like the Charlie Brown<br />
character Pig Pen. Using high efficiency filters, cleaning<br />
surfaces regularly, and taking off shoes at the door are<br />
simple yet effective tools to combat indoor contaminants.<br />
Feelings of safety and security directly influence our<br />
health and are fundamental to our ability to survive,<br />
coming only after basic needs like food and water are<br />
met. Well-designed security measures such as adequate<br />
lighting in parking areas and entryways and managing<br />
points of egress reduce fight or flight responses, disease<br />
susceptibility, and fear of crime.<br />
Clean fresh water is an essential nutrient for life,<br />
but contaminated water is one of the leading causes<br />
of disease globally. Water quality is reduced by<br />
contaminants like copper and lead, improper treatment,<br />
and poor maintenance of distribution systems. By regular<br />
testing and installation of water purification systems we<br />
can prevent water stagnation and ensure disinfectant<br />
levels are sufficient to control microbes.<br />
Noise is unwanted or disturbing sound that interferes<br />
with normal activities while noise annoyance<br />
encompasses feelings of irritation, discomfort, distress, or<br />
frustration. 53% of employees report ambient noise from<br />
mechanical systems, office equipment, conversations,<br />
and outside sources reduces their work satisfaction and<br />
productivity. The use of robust construction science<br />
principles through sound attenuation materials and<br />
thoughtful design to minimize background noise and<br />
reverberation can improve the indoor environment and<br />
increase productivity and well-being.<br />
Adequate lighting is critical to the normal functioning<br />
of the circadian rhythm in humans. Light intensity<br />
and spectrum can influence physiology and affect<br />
performance. Access to views, or biophilic design,<br />
supports cognitive function, physical health, and<br />
psychological well-being and satisfies our innate instinct<br />
to connect with nature and other living beings. Humans<br />
can realize multiple restorative effects via access to<br />
natural environments through windows and regular light<br />
breaks outside.<br />

STATE OF CONSTRUCTION 2021<br />
Reasons to Prioritize Digital<br />
Investments<br />
Savvy construction firms recognize the need to invest in technology to modernize their business processes. Research from<br />
McKinsey suggests that these digital investments “can result in productivity gains of 14 to 15 percent and cost reductions of<br />
4 to 6 percent.” Despite the compelling business case for innovation, many firms are still hesitant to change. One possible<br />
explanation is that construction firms have a high level of business complexity, making it seemingly difficult to implement<br />
operational changes across a distributed workforce. Not every firm has a large budget or dedicated technical resources to<br />
take on this type of enterprise-scale initiative. An alternative approach is emerging though for contractors that want to<br />
innovate and prefer to focus on quick wins that align directly with specific business challenges. Easy-to-adopt software as a<br />
service (SaaS) products are helping companies to digitize their operations and create a competitive advantage. In the<br />
current market, companies will need to innovate to maximize their profitability. Continue reading for analysis on the state of<br />
construction and an overview on the business impact of moving away from paper-based processes.<br />
Top Challenges for <strong>Construction</strong> Firms<br />
The ongoing pandemic is affecting the economy and creating uncertainty<br />
for construction firms. There’s no shortage of new challenges arising --<br />
from rising material costs, decreased demand in certain sectors, and<br />
increased competition in the market to name a few. It’s clear that there’s<br />
a great deal at stake and organizations will need to limit unnecessary<br />
setbacks going forward. Even without a pandemic, there are several<br />
consistent challenges present in the construction industry that affect<br />
profitability.<br />
Companies should look to leverage technologies that address these<br />
specific pain points, balancing the need to increase productivity, keep<br />
workers safe, and deliver quality projects on time to clients. By aligning<br />
technology investments with these business objectives, firms can make<br />
incremental improvements that help them stay competitive and profitable.<br />
<strong>Construction</strong> executives continue to have a positive outlook despite these<br />
challenges. According to research from Deloitte, “68% of executives<br />
characterized the business outlook for the industry as somewhat or very<br />
positive” from a survey conducted in 2021.<br />
The Need for Digitization<br />
Using mobile apps and software, contractors are now able to streamline their workflows and improve the quality of their<br />
data. These applications are simple by design but when implemented they can have a powerful impact on transforming<br />
how a business operates. Research from GoCanvas shows that companies who moved away from paper-based processes<br />
to digital mobile apps reported:<br />
34 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM
1. Increase employee productivity<br />
Paperwork is the leading frustration for employees and can<br />
lower productivity levels. Mobile apps for contractors aim to<br />
digitize all aspects of paperwork on the job, resulting in<br />
streamlined workflows and a reduction in manual tasks. The<br />
most common paper-based processes in construction include<br />
inspections, incident reports, work orders and change orders,<br />
estimates and logs, reports, and other types of field data<br />
collection on job sites. Anywhere paper is used to collect and<br />
share information can be an opportunity to digitize information<br />
using online forms. Mobile apps simplify the process for staff,<br />
bring information online for reporting, and enable automation<br />
for completing other tasks and workflows. Considering the<br />
costs associated with paper usage and the indirect costs that<br />
stem from lost productivity, there is a clear advantage for firms<br />
that can digitize.<br />
2. Standardize how data is collected<br />
Data collection is challenging for construction companies with<br />
distributed teams. Without clear processes, results in siloed<br />
data that is not consistent and hard to analyze. With paper<br />
forms there is no reliable way to enforce how data is collected.<br />
Apps and software for contractors are designed to simplify field<br />
data collection, giving employees a better way to submit data.<br />
Advanced features can require standard inputs so the<br />
information for reporting is consistent and complete, creating<br />
an environment where data is an asset and can be used to<br />
inform business decisions.<br />
3. Enable staff with insights and analytics<br />
Contractors can use data to their advantage using data<br />
collection best practices. Staff can see trends in real-time to<br />
understand any potential issues, delays, incidents, or problems<br />
that are happening on job sites. <strong>Construction</strong> executives are<br />
empowered with a complete view of their business and can<br />
make appropriate adjustments. Mobile apps and software<br />
enable data collection and empower the analytics and insights<br />
needed for greater business intelligence. For construction<br />
companies, this means finding opportunities to improve quality,<br />
avoid rework, spot lags in productivity, manage safety<br />
programs, and much more.<br />
4. Promote a culture of workplace safety<br />
Safety programs managed on paper are difficult to track.<br />
Digitizing programs allows more visibility into safety programs<br />
and ensures compliance. Going digital makes it easier for<br />
employees to complete training or toolbox talks, and a record<br />
of their completion is clearly documented. Apps for contractors<br />
act as a comprehensive safety management solution. With<br />
real-time reporting organizations can address potential hazards<br />
and limit OSHA violations and fines.<br />
5. Ensure data is never lost<br />
There is a greater level of risk when information is stored on<br />
paper in filing cabinets. Sheets are hard to find and they can<br />
be lost, damaged, or stolen. Digitizing information ensures<br />
firms are complying with best practices for record-keeping.<br />
Digital information is securely stored in the cloud and is always<br />
accessible. This helps contractors in case of an audit,<br />
insurance claims, legal disputes, and similar instances where<br />
sensitive information needs to be readily available.<br />
6. Increase employee retention<br />
With a labor shortage and difficulty finding skilled workers,<br />
firms need to do everything in they can to retain employees.<br />
An investment in digital apps and software shows workers that<br />
brands are committed to investing in worker productivity and<br />
safety, with modern business processes that make their jobs<br />
easier. All of this leads to a better employee experience and a<br />
positive impact on a firm’s brand and reputation. Firms can’t<br />
control the labor market, but investing in tools to improve the<br />
job is one opportunity to improve employee satisfaction.<br />
7. Ensure client satisfaction<br />
An investment in digital technology will bring improvements to<br />
productivity, minimizing delays and cost overruns. Streamlined<br />
operations ensure smooth processes, a high level of quality in<br />
work, and on-time delivery. In an increasingly competitive<br />
environment for work, having modern business processes in<br />
place increases opportunity to ensure that projects run<br />
efficiently.<br />
Key Considerations When Implementing Technology<br />
With the right technology in place, contractors can expect to<br />
see a significant return on their investment. But navigating the<br />
software and apps marketplace can be difficult with hundreds<br />
of solutions available to buyers today. When starting out, firms<br />
should consider starting small by piloting a program that is<br />
centered around a single area for improvement. They should<br />
focus on making incremental changes and solutions with a fast<br />
time to value. Complex software purchases may be overly<br />
complicated for some business types. It may be ideal to find<br />
solutions that don’t require a large investment upfront or<br />
dedicated technical expertise. No-code or low-code solutions<br />
are available that enable non-technical business users to<br />
digitize their operations, while also offering a high level of<br />
customization to fit unique business requirements.<br />
The final consideration when purchasing technology is to focus<br />
on adoption. Different stakeholders in the organization should<br />
be included during the pilot program to gain their feedback<br />
early on. Once a business case is clearly established and the<br />
value proposition is clear to staff, companies can begin to roll<br />
out these programs on a larger scale. Some employees will be<br />
hesitant to adopt but communicating how this initiative will<br />
impact their job can put into perspective the tangible benefits.<br />
By starting small, focusing on simplicity, and working to gain<br />
buy-in from staff, organizations can quickly move from paperbased<br />
operations to digital. This approach is easier than an<br />
enterprise level implementation and will prioritize the quick<br />
wins that bring immediate benefits to an organization and<br />
create a competitive advantage in the market.<br />

Axis Leak Detection, Inc. (“ALDI”) uses Electronic Leak Detection (“ELD”) to detect the presence<br />
and location of breaches or leaks in non-conductive roofing and waterproofing membranes<br />
and coatings.<br />
ELD is a quality control testing service using a water path to building ground to complete an<br />
electrical circuit to locate system breaches. This allows for faster inspection compared to the<br />
traditional flood testing that per ASTM requires 48 hours minimum. ELD testing is utilized on new<br />
construction for quality assurance and once the building is occupied to troubleshoot existing<br />
roofing, waterproofing and coating membranes that leak to find the point of intrusion.<br />
Identification of breaches in new construction and occupied buildings allow for immediate repairs<br />
thereby reducing further damage from water.<br />
ELD is approved for use in various systems by roofing, waterproofing and coating manufacturers<br />
and does not adversely affect manufacturers warranties. In fact, many manufacturers providing<br />
longer term warranties require ELD testing. ALDI has the ability to respond to testing services with<br />
2 to 3 days-notice and provide accurate and professional reports of findings within 5 business days<br />
of testing.<br />
ALDI works with:<br />
• Architects, consultants, designers to ensure<br />
that quality control is specified in project<br />
documents.<br />
• Contractors to ensure that their completed<br />
projects are watertight.<br />
• Manufacturers to administer third-party<br />
inspections providing confidence in<br />
delivering extended warranties.<br />
• <strong>Build</strong>ing owners, their representatives,<br />
cities, municipalities and other organizations<br />
for quality assurance.<br />

HOMELESSNESS PROMPTS<br />
LARGE P3S THROUGHOUT<br />
AMERICA<br />
By Mary Scott Nabers<br />
At least 580,000 people experienced homelessness on<br />
a given day in January 2020. That number has increased<br />
significantly since then. Today, reporting organizations say<br />
there is no recent accounting and gathering the data will<br />
be more difficult in the months to come. However, data<br />
does point to increases in America’s homeless population<br />
over the past four years.<br />
Almost every municipality is struggling with decisions<br />
about homeless populations. The cost to resolve or<br />
reverse the problem will be incredibly high and there is<br />
little guidance for public officials. The problem is likely to<br />
result in some of the largest public-private partnership<br />
(P3) initiatives in this century.<br />
Looking at what is already happening and what is<br />
being planned reinforces the fact that there will be an<br />
abundance of opportunities for government contracting<br />
because private sector expertise and resources will<br />
be required along with partnerships from health-care<br />
providers, social service nonprofit organizations and<br />
many visionary thinkers and community volunteers.<br />
42 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM<br />
Indiana<br />
Housing advocates in Hamilton County, warning of a<br />
looming homeless crisis, will ask lawmakers and other<br />
funding sources for at least $51 million to bring housing<br />
of some sort within reach of individuals and family units.<br />
The Hamilton County Association of Neighborhood<br />
Development has plans to consolidate approximately $31<br />
million in funding from the American Rescue Act Program<br />
(ARPA) with federal Community Development Block<br />
Grant revenue. Private sector contractors will be needed<br />
to help with construction in established neighborhoods<br />
for “infill” housing. This will be less expensive than<br />
building in undeveloped areas where utilities would need<br />
to be connected. The coalition will work with municipal<br />
leaders to encourage public-private partnerships. A<br />
consultant will be selected to perform a feasibility study<br />
in September.<br />
In another part of the state, Hogsett’s mayor has<br />
announced that $12 million is available for construction<br />
of a low barrier shelter site for individuals in need of<br />
emergency housing. The Office of Public Health and<br />
Safety is awaiting finalization of a $25,000 assessment<br />
study related to an encampment location. The<br />
assessment study will be completed in September, a<br />
budget will be adopted in October, and work will begin<br />
soon after that.<br />
California<br />
The governor recently signed the largest funding and<br />
reform package ever for housing and homelessness as<br />
part of the $100 billion “California Comeback Plan.” The
funding includes $10.3 billion for affordable housing<br />
and $12 billion over the next two years to alleviate<br />
homelessness through:<br />
• $5.8 billion to construct more than 42,000 new<br />
homeless housing units.<br />
• $2.75 billion for assistance for Department of<br />
Housing and Community Development services.<br />
• $3 billion for services from Health and Human<br />
Services for health-related services.<br />
• $2 billion in Homeless Housing, Assistance and<br />
Prevention grant funding to aid counties, large cities,<br />
and continuums of care.<br />
• $1.75 billion for 7,200 units of housing for extremely<br />
low-income families and people exiting homelessness.<br />
• $150 million to place participants in hotels.<br />
• $50.6 million for encampment resolution efforts.<br />
• $45 million for services and housing for homeless<br />
veterans.<br />
The city of Sacramento approved 20 sites for homeless<br />
shelters and tiny homes. Officials also sanctioned tent<br />
encampments as part of a plan to address homelessness.<br />
The city will use $100 million from ARPA funding and<br />
more from the state to develop the sites which will serve<br />
2,209 people. A large 350-bed campus-style shelter at a<br />
location yet to be disclosed also will be developed, and<br />
six motels will be converted into shelter units for which<br />
housing vouchers will be issued.<br />
New York<br />
As part of the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative,<br />
a $20 billion plan has been developed. The state’s sixth<br />
round of funding will provide $35 million in service and<br />
operating funds to provide 1,400 supportive housing<br />
units. The goal is to create 20,000 units over 15 years. An<br />
allocation of $25,000 per unit per year will be available<br />
for service and operating expenses. The state’s Fiscal<br />
Year 2022 budget includes an additional $250 million in<br />
capital spending for the housing initiative.<br />
Colorado<br />
Denver’s Department of Housing Stability (HOST) has<br />
released a five-year plan to eliminate homeless by 50<br />
percent by 2026. HOST will deliver 7,000 homes and<br />
secure 950 income-restricted rentals. The mayor has<br />
proposed $28 million in ARPA funding and is creating a<br />
specialized team to prioritize projects for permit review<br />
and approval.<br />
Vermont<br />
The Vermont Housing and Conservation Board has<br />
consolidated $53.8 million in funding to build 389 homes.<br />
The funding will be used for building or rehabilitating 288<br />
apartments, 50 shelter beds, and 51 houses throughout<br />
the state.<br />
Counties also have plans in place to reduce homeliness.<br />
Chittenden County has announced the following actions.<br />
• Shelburne: The Champlain Housing Trust will convert<br />
20 motel-style units to create permanent apartments<br />
with support services for previously homeless<br />
individuals and households. There are plans to also<br />
buy and rehabilitate a motel that will provide an<br />
additional 58 rooms with support services.<br />
• Williston: The Champlain Housing Trust will purchase<br />
a motel and convert it to create 38 homes for<br />
formerly homeless households. It will have support<br />
services and an on-site project manager. Another 33<br />
permanent apartments for low- and moderate-income<br />
families will be developed.<br />
• South Burlington: A motel will be converted<br />
to provide 20 permanent homes for homeless<br />
households.<br />
• Colchester: The Champlain Housing Trust and<br />
Evernorth will build 60 new apartments in three<br />
vacant buildings at Fort Ethan Allen. The project will<br />
include the redevelopment of a former army barracks<br />
to deliver 11 more apartments with supportive<br />
services.<br />
District of Columbia<br />
The District of Columbia’s Council approved a budget of<br />
$17.5 billion which includes spending on housing and<br />
homeless services. Increased funding was appropriated<br />
for the Housing Production Trust Fund. A total of $400<br />
million is available to produce 2,800 units of housing,<br />
and another $17.7 million is available to preserve the<br />
affordable housing. The council also increased funding for<br />
repairs needed in public housing to $50 million.<br />
Kansas<br />
The Topeka City Council is considering plans for a $5.7<br />
million “tiny home transitional village” with a capacity of<br />
200 beds. This is one part of the Topeka Rescue Mission’s<br />
$8.1 million plan to address chronic homelessness. The<br />
tiny home units would be approximately 64 square feet<br />
each and have electricity, a heater and air conditioner.<br />
City leaders have announced community engagement<br />
sessions to kick-off the program.<br />
Massachusetts<br />
Massachusetts has announced an investment of $30<br />
million in state funds for regional and statewide services<br />
to support homeless individuals. The bulk of funding<br />
will be allocated to a Housing First initiative, with $15.7<br />
million directed to the Department of Public Health’s<br />
Bureau of Substance Addiction Services. Another $10<br />
million is available for a new capital fund for permanent<br />
supportive housing.<br />
Private sector partners and nonprofit organizations are<br />
in high demand as public officials struggle to help end<br />
homelessness throughout America.<br />
