What we offer
Our Innovative Approach
DAECO Consulting team is committed to educating and supporting our partners with the ultimate goal of impacting homelessness in our society. Real estate is the groundwork for which we build upon and enables us to educate and guide our clients to the best outcomes. Led by our Principal, DAECO consultative experience includes the Flexible Housing Subsidy Program from Brilliant Corners & Housing for Health for LA County DHS; A Bridge Home, Project Homekey & Homeless Roadmap programs for the City of LA,and many other significant programs to impact the unhoused in the greater Los Angeles area.
Shelter capacity in LA County increased by 62% from 15,617 beds in 2019 to 25,263 in 2022.
Unhoused residents have a life expectancy that is 22 years shorter than the general population.
Our tailored Project Management services provide our clients with our valuable knowledge base of supportive housing, experience in construction and renovations for these housing types, code requirements to obtain approvals and Certificate of Occupancy ensuring sites are equipped with the elements necessary for the end service delivery and positive outcomes for the unhoused.
How we can help
Supportive Services Design
We conceptualize spaces with services at the forefront. We understand what providers need from the physical space to best support clients. Common spaces, access to the outdoors and other amenities are critical to the goal of supporting the unhoused in our communities. We rely on trauma-informed design principles.
Site Selection
The DAECO process to site selection is led by determining the best use a site and connecting it to the right program need. Our team is immersed in the homelessness space with access to many programs in need of building opportunities. We are consistently active in site selection throughout Los Angeles county and vet potential sites through feasibility.
Feasibility
We work with clients on evaluating the potential of a long-held asset or a recent acquisition to identify from a range of programs what best suits a particular site. Program needs include service delivery, staff offices and breakrooms, fire/life safety code requirements, ADA considerations and licensing requirements when applicable. Assessing deferred maintenance and creating a schematic design is essential to this work.
Program, Government, Foundation Support
The DAECO team provides consulting for project based and tenant based rental subsidy programs and agreements. This includes landlord engagement, securing unites for housing, budget reviews, foundation grant support and speaking engagements. Our team has also supported funding measures of local government’s funding measures.
