The 'Project Recovery' report, crafted by experts from USC, UCLA, and the Urban Land Institute, outlines strategies to expedite the recovery of Los Angeles neighborhoods impacted by January wildfires. Key recommendations include accelerating construction approvals, tackling labor and supply chain issues, and stabilizing the property insurance market. With over 100 contributors providing analysis, the report serves as a blueprint for effective rebuilding and decision-making, drawing from past experiences with disaster recovery in other regions. Chairman Lew Horne emphasizes the urgency of returning residents to their homes.
"We want to make sure that we're moving as quickly as possible to try to get people back into their homes," said report chairman Lew Horne, head of the Greater Los Angeles region for real estate services firm CBRE.
The report also draws on the institute's experience advising disaster-affected communities including in Colorado after the 2021 Marshall fire and in New York and New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy.
