Mills: My hesitation with public funds is the strings and limitations that come attached. I’d like to see more creative opportunities, like crowdfunding. There’s a lot of great people and will and we need to look at more non-traditional means at solving this problem. #Axios360pic.twitter.com/oKk0DgrDob
Los Angeles City Controller Ron Galperin on what needs to be addressed in fixing the housing crisis: increase the supply of housing, drive down the cost of creating affordable units and find ways to help those who are struggling to pay rent today. #Axios360pic.twitter.com/DRl5UKcnSG
Galperin: We need to make better use of the properties owned by the city. Even if we are able to capitalize on a fraction of those and do approvals before we partner with developers, imagine how much more quickly things can be build. #Axios360
Galperin: We need to reassess many of the environmental impact laws in California that need to be reevaluated at this time. We need to look at how we use government-owned properties and money in the most efficient way. #Axios360pic.twitter.com/VD3Iau8czl
Galperin: There has to be a change in thinking among many nonprofit organizations. The nonprofit sector has to start thinking in more business-like and bottom-like terms too. #Axios360
United Way CEO @EliseBuik on the importance of the Housing First model: You can’t start treating people until you get them in a home. #Axios360pic.twitter.com/vktr6mdAoS
Buik: United Way, for the first time, has a whole team of community organizers, working with neighborhoods to build support because we know people want to be a part of the solution, but we have to activate them. #Axios360
Buik on engaging the community where a shelter is being built: It’s how we work together in terms of hearing what’s important to a community and addressing them. We have to be intentional before a project gets too much down the pike to get their input beforehand. #Axios360pic.twitter.com/1n1oajw4Ra
Buik: We need to connect people to the humanity of this. We have a compassion crisis and we need to build more compassion in our neighborhoods. #Axios360pic.twitter.com/POBiXtmQmM
President of Policy and Advocacy of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative David Plouffe on getting attention for the housing crisis: I think these days intensity matters in politics. Politicians and elected officials need to see intensity and passion. #Axios360pic.twitter.com/6meY4v7HIY
Plouffe: The housing crisis is a human rights issue, it’s an economics issue, it’s a fairness issue. #Axios360pic.twitter.com/4rriMDPRAj
Plouffe on CZI’s approach: CZI can do a lot, but there’s no point in duplicating the work that others do better than the young organization could. The question is where can it add value and bring interesting aspects that might be new to the arena. #Axios360pic.twitter.com/OdiveIeVXM
