Pro-Housing Leadership Certification Course
Course Description
Abundant Housing LA is proud to collaborate with experts in land use, real estate development, and architecture to offer our pro-housing leadership training, a 12-class boot camp on housing. Students will gain practical skills and real-world knowledge on various aspects of housing development, from parcel to approval, to construction, through a pro-housing lens. These skills will provide on-the-ground knowledge for anyone looking to enter or continue a career in public policy, housing development, land use, architecture and more.
Revenue generated from this program will help advance AHLA’s mission to build the movement to House LA. Specifically, your dollars go to free services such as project advocacy, online advocacy tools, educational training, and community power-building through housing.

“This course has added so much to my knowledge and skills by providing a clear I breakdown and explanation of the various topics discussed…. I believe that if young people are offered these [AHLA] courses to study it would also encourage students to have even more pride and concern for their cities and neighborhoods”
