Bass’ push for private donations makes more sense than going back to the ballot box, he said. LA4LA is modeled after a similar program in Atlanta that has raised $150 million from philanthropic groups, corporations and individuals. The program provides loans and grants to developers of mixed-income housing that includes affordable units. Because LA4LA is a philanthropic venture — overseen by the California Community Foundation, a charitable group — it will be able to offer financing at lower interest rates than a bank, LA4LA leaders said.

Hydrogen can be produced from diverse domestic resources like solar energy, wind, nuclear energy, biomass, and natural gas with safe and responsible carbon capture, with the potential for near-zero greenhouse gas emissions from production. Seven billion dollars of this program is going towards the development of the regional clean hydrogen hubs that will catalyze multistate hydrogen ecosystems that ultimately will expand and connect to form a national hydrogen economy. Up to $1 billion of the remaining funding will be used for demand-side support for the hubs to drive innovative end-uses of clean hydrogen.
Mayor Karen Bass urges L.A.’s wealthy to fund homeless housing
In certain scenarios, according to LA4LA lead strategist Sarah Dusseault, investors will be offered a small return. Bass’ signature homelessness program, Inside Safe, has cleared some encampments and moved some unhoused Angelenos into hotel and motel rooms. Donna Bojarsky, co-founder of a nonprofit dedicated to building civic culture in L.A., predicts that Bass’ deep commitment to alleviating homelessness will spur people to give to LA4LA.

Bass’ campaign comes as wealthy Democratic donors in Los Angeles — some of the same people the mayor is counting on to open their wallets — are hyperfocused on raising money for President Biden’s reelection campaign. While Bass’ allies applauded her work on homelessness, others privately questioned how far the donations raised by LA4LA would go, arguing that billions are ultimately needed to fix the problem. Los Angeles has always been a city of extremes, but the homelessness crisis is exposing the divide between rich and poor in startling ways. A sound strategy involves planning, preparation, performance, and follow-through at three vital stages of the financial life cycle.
“People are a little less cynical, because she has shown that things can be done,” said Bojarsky, pointing to Bass’ executive order speeding up affordable housing construction and other programs led by her office. And city taxpayers of all income levels have already funded billions of dollars in spending to reduce homelessness, even as the population on the streets and in temporary housing has continued to increase. Philanthropic and real estate leaders reacted with hope and skepticism to the initiative, LA4LA, which Bass unveiled Monday during her State of the City address.

Today, President Biden and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm are announcing seven regional clean hydrogen hubs that were selected to receive $7 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to accelerate the domestic market for low-cost, clean hydrogen. Providing Market Certainty and Unlocking Private Sector InvestmentTo ensure the long-term success of the clean hydrogen economy and support the H2Hubs’ development, DOE issued a Request for Proposals in September 2023 to solicit a U.S. entity to execute a demand-side initiative. This demand-side initiative seeks to ensure that both producers and end users in the H2Hubs have the market certainty they need during the early years of clean hydrogen production to unlock critical private investment. The Biden-Harris Administration is dedicated to ensuring the benefits of the clean energy transition flow directly to impacted communities—a stark contrast from the legacy of underinvestment and environmental degradation resulting from the development of past energy infrastructure projects. President Biden’s Justice40 Initiative aims to ensure that 40 percent of the overall benefits of certain Federal investments—including from the H2Hubs—positively impact disadvantaged communities that are marginalized by underinvestment and overburdened by pollution. Funded by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the seven H2Hubs will kickstart a national network of clean hydrogen producers, consumers, and connective infrastructure while supporting the production, storage, delivery, and end-use of clean hydrogen.
“We are raising more money privately and publicly, we’re assisting more people, yet there are more people falling into homelessness, and that becomes deflating,” Klasky-Gamer said. LA4LA is already partnering with the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, a state-chartered agency that administers the city’s public housing developments, to provide loans to buy buildings. The city has had to return some voucher money to the federal government, frustrating officials.
