LAUSD Housing Assessment

OVERVIEW

The District is exploring the possibility of repurposing underutilized real estate assets to provide affordable housing for employees and families experiencing housing insecurity. As the first step of this exploratory effort, a survey is being conducted to assess the housing needs of our employees and families. It aims to gather statistically representative data to inform next steps.

GOALS

Through this effort, the District hopes to:

1. Understand the living and housing challenges of families and employees.
2. Define and quantify the need for affordable housing by geographic and demographic segments.
3. Get detailed feedback on housing, such as desired and required price points, locations, amenities, and/or support features.
   
   
   

OUTCOMES

Survey findings, along with the additional stakeholder input, will help inform the identification of potential sites and development options for affordable housing.
