Lack of urgency, coordination has sidelined Los Angeles’ HHH program

Sierra Atilano, chief real estate officer at Skid Row Housing Trust, knows these delays well. Her organization has five projects in the HHH pipeline. Two of the projects have been ready to start construction since August 2019, she said, but they are on hold while she waits for city approval.

Atilano, the chief real estate officer at Skid Row Housing Trust, said the lack of responsiveness stems from miscommunication between departments within the city.

“And I’m saying this from Skid Row Housing Trust,” she said. “I mean, our name is L.A. based.”
