Los Angeles Business Council acknowledges HR&A Advisors Partner Paul Silvern

The Los Angeles Business Council (LABC) acknowledged HR&A Advisors Partner Paul Silvern for his contributions and support of the LABC Institute’s newest  study “Tackling the Housing Crisis: Streamlining to Increase Production in Los Angeles” which was conducted by Dr. Stuart Gabriel of UCLA and Dr. Edward Kung of Cal State Northridge.  

 

During a period of 13 years, market rate and affordable housing developers faced entitlement and permit approval timing challenges. The report examines how the construction of new housing could have been completed much faster and the number of new units could have been increased significantly if certain streamlining recommendations had been implemented.

 

During the report’s launching event LABC Council President Krekorian stated we have his “assurance that every one of the policy recommendations that are in this report will be advanced in this council, will be analyzed, will be moved forward into the legislative process and I’m looking forward to working closely with you in pursuing each and every one of those recommendations.”
