EA is serving as the Interim Inspector General for the United to House LA (ULA) Citizen Oversight Committee (COC) – a body created to oversee and monitor the ULA ballot measure which intended to create a sustainable funding stream dedicated to affordable housing production and homelessness prevention. ULA COC membership is a diverse mix of individuals with experience in affordable housing, financing, tenants’ rights, labor unions, mobility and transit-oriented development, as well as young adults and those with lived homelessness experience.

In partnership with LeSar Development Consultants, our firm worked with HACLA to develop a 25-year vision plan for its public housing portfolio and key real estate assets. As part of this project, we undertook a large-scale community outreach process to deliver a vision plan that has broad support and community buy-in.

We led the development of an Affordable Housing Action Plan for the LA County Department of Regional Planning. The plan provides a comprehensive analysis to support the establishment of affordable housing policies and programs, and includes a study of existing conditions, a real estate market study, and a policy evaluation tool.

We were a strategic advisor to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Committee to House the Bay Area. In this role, we supported regional goals of increasing housing production, preserving affordable housing, and protecting vulnerable populations from experiencing housing instability and displacement.
