About the Alliance

Connecting attainable housing and the skilled workforce.

Live Work Alliance is a California nonprofit focused on two connected challenges: the shortage of attainable housing and the shortage of the skilled workforce needed to build it.

Our mission

The skilled trades and the construction workforce working together to make housing attainable for all.

Our vision

A California where attainable housing can be planned, approved, permitted, built, and delivered with the skilled workforce capacity required to meet community needs.

The housing-workforce connection

More attainable housing requires enough skilled people to build it. A strong construction workforce also benefits from communities where housing is attainable.

Who we engage

Builders, Developers & Property Owners

A strong construction workforce benefits communities where housing is attainable.

Policy Makers and Public Jurisdictions

Government planning, entitlements, and permitting determine housing availability and attainability.

Community & Business Leaders

Local leaders can advance informed conversations about attainable housing, homebuilding, and skilled construction careers.
