OUR APPROACH

Public housing is too expensive and slow. The private market must step in.

We do not have enough affordable housing in Los Angeles. Period. And the housing shortage has pushed up housing and rental prices in every neighborhood, making thousands of working Angelenos vulnerable to homelessness.

Through the Better Angels Affordable Housing Fund, a for-profit real estate investment trust, we’re innovating a solution that will make housing production faster, better, and cheaper.

Attracting private capital to providemuch-needed equity to finance thepre-development and constructionof affordable housing.

Streamlining approvals, promoting off-site construction, and reducing housing attrition rates.

Providing investors with a solid, socially responsible investment plan that mitigates risk through diversified portfolios.

Delivering $1 billion worth of government impact for $250 million of private capital, deployed quickly and efficiently.
