UCLA’s Guaranteed Student Housing Plan Is Fast, Comprehensive, and Worth Copying

The school is able to house more than 13,000 students on the smallest University of California campus in size. Photo: Al Seib/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images UC Berkeley will now be able to enroll its full freshman class this fall, thanks to a last-minute emergency bill signed this week by Governor Gavin Newsom.

UCLA, in particular, enrolls a large number of first-generation and low-income students, and housing has become an admissions issue, says Andrew Lewis, a 2010 UCLA graduate who serves on the North Westwood Neighborhood Council. He says the average rent of a two-bedroom in Westwood is among the most expensive in the state.

UCLA’s success is even more pronounced when compared to the difficulty that the city of L.A. has had over the past decade in producing more affordable housing. One of the people working to fix that is Paavo Monkkonen, an associate professor of urban planning and public policy at UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs.
