1000 Homes Competition
2010 Competition
We would like to invite you to participate in the 1000 Homes Development Competition: Housing the Chronically Homeless in LA County - sponsored by the Urban Land Institute.
Work with a multi-disciplinary team of 4-8 graduate students, or young land use professionals, to plan a supportive housing development in Los Angeles County from the ground up. The project will integrate development, design, and social services for a specific site chosen by each team. Teams will be debriefed on critical policy, funding, development and political issues that pertain to the challenge and will have access to industry experts for mentorship throughout the process. Each team will be required to have one member trained in development, and one member trained in public policy and/or social work. Each team will be provided with a stipend.
