How Our Proven Management Process is Contributing to Solutions for the Homeless Crisis
Los Angeles has roughly 48,000 unsheltered people, according to a 2020 count by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.
RPM Team's Commitment to the Homeless Crisis
RPM Team has successfully worked with cities across North America to help communities struggling with homelessness. The crisis is complex and accelerating, but our team has the experience and dedication to keep up. Working with RPM means a quicker timeline and superior results to help people get off the streets and shift to a more stable living environment. So how does our proven process work? See below for a condensed explanation of our services specific to homeless housing.
Feasibility Consulting
The plan is the most crucial part and can be the difference between a project which is on-time and under budget or the adverse. Our experience across every facet of homeless shelter projects means our plans will help provide the most seamless project possible. Every RPM project starts with feasibility consulting. With dozens of projects in our portfolio, we can confidently recommend a project scope of work that is appropriate for the land space, community needs, and available budget.
Homeless Programs Consulting
Our services and expertise also cover Consulting for Homeless Programs. We can develop multiple options/recommendations for addressing unmet needs, assist with immediate operations and expansion recommendations, and provide guidance on the most strategic use of a Navigation Center. Additionally, we have multiple case studies that include how we successfully meet with cities and provide well-defined recommendations for immediate operations and expansions.
Predevelopment Planning
Once a project is deemed feasible, we execute our preliminary planning initiatives. These include, but are not limited to, initial site plans, detailed phase one site plans with drawings, public presentation, and 3D renderings. At this stage, multiple disciplines will enter the project, and the RPM Team acts as general "project coordinator" between the City, any subcontractors, service providers, and general contractors during preplanning. We cannot emphasize enough how crucial our experience is in navigating these steps as seamlessly as possible.
Site Program/Design Estimating
Next, we can develop site designs coordinated with services offered per location and propose building manufacturer estimates, performance, and lead time comparisons. We can also estimate design and construction costs, source local contractors, and provide lifecycle duration research for various pre-engineered manufacturers.
Experience Meets Dedication to the Cause
The above-mentioned is a fraction of our capabilities. RPM Team is one of the most experienced teams in the nation when it comes to consulting on the feasibility management and development of navigation centers for homeless housing. We are not only experts in the industry but also dedicated to the cause. Suppose you are considering a consulting team to develop manufactured housing for the homeless. In that case, we want to discuss further our capabilities and provide a list of our services tailored to the project's needs. We look forward to working together and furthering our support for this important work.
