TOOLKITS, TECHNIQUES, HIGH-TECH AND NON-TRADITIONAL/DIVERSE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT HELPS TO MAKE PLANNING ABOUT PEOPLE
The Paradise Association of REALTORS® brought in the Corps in 2021, when it was alarmed at the slow pace of rebuilding from the 2018 California wildfire that burned down nearly 20,000 structures in the area.
One recommendation was to bring in a dealmaker from the
private sector, someone who could cut through red tape and get things done with
streamlined permitting.
Another issue was to focus on affordable housing.
Homeowners tended to have insurance settlements that
allowed them to rebuild. Renters were uninsured or underinsured, plus very
little affordable housing was being rebuilt in an area that was fairly
affordable compared to many areas in the Golden State.
