Items for discussion and possible action:
Stakeholder Public Comment will be taken on each agenda item: (2) minutes per speaker
6. Motion to approve a Community Impact Statement related to Council File # 21-0658.
Motion (21-0658) calls for a strategic plan to streamline 100 percent deed-restricted affordable housing
projects. As the Motion states, only 6 percent of the housing projects approved since 2015 have been 100
percent deed-restricted affordable housing, while the need for affordable housing in the City far outpaces that
rate. To mitigate the housing and homelessness crisis in Los Angeles, the City can and should encourage the
development of fully affordable housing projects by making them cheaper and easier to build.
7. Items to be placed on the next committee meeting agenda.
