Key Takeaways:

 

  • Steadfast LA is doing amazing work uniting developers, policymakers, and local leaders to tackle complex rebuilding challenges from undergrounding power lines to AI-driven plan checks.

  • To rebuild over 6,000 homes across Pacific Palisades and Altadena, LA needs at least 10+ builders and a 20x increase in construction capacity.

  • Capital and insurance are bottlenecks. Banks, lenders, and policymakers must ensure liquidity for small contractors and affordable coverage for homeowners.

  • Public-private partnerships are critical to cutting through red tape, incentivizing resilient design, and empowering communities to return stronger.

  • Visible leadership fuels hope whether it’s rebuilding homes or planting sunflowers in burned neighborhoods. 
 
Thanks to Rick Caruso, Jason Keller, Laura Carney and the CFA Society Los Angeles community. Los Angeles has always been a city of reinvention, and this moment calls for that spirit more than ever.
