Rick Cole

Rick Cole is deputy chief controller for the city of Los Angeles and a former executive director of the Congress for the New Urbanism. Cole also co-chairs the ULI Los Angeles Homelessness Initiative Council.

To be successful and sustainable, fighting homelessness in Los Angeles requires crisis intervention on two fronts: First, we must build more permanent housing and much more of it needs to be affordable. Second, we must build more transitional shelter of every type—more quickly and much, much more affordably. But shelter is not enough.
