About Us

The Affordable Housing Liaison Unit (AHLU) is a team within the office of Los Angeles City Mayor Karen Bass. Formed in April 2023, our mission is to support the development of 100% affordable housing across the city. Our multi-disciplinary team brings expertise in:

  1. Affordable housing finance and underwriting;
  2. Site analysis, environmental review, design, land use, and entitlements; and
  3. Permitting, construction, and lease-up.

We provide technical assistance to 100% affordable housing developers and their teams by closely collaborating with the Mayor's Office, City Council, and all city development services departments.
