ABOUT SUSTAYNABL
Sustaynabl, Inc was founded in 2015 as a Benefit Corporation. As a Benefit Corporation we place value on our mission and vision before our profits. Seeking to make global impact using exponential methodologies + technologies, the company focused its efforts on the development of a future looking model for the planetary housing needs in urban centers. Working in the City of Los Angeles; which is facing one the largest affordable housing shortages and homelessness issues in the country, we crafted a vision for the future of housing, responsiblie and sustainable development, economic redevelopment of under-served and underutilized communities, inclusive health care models, and a long-term solution to homelessness.
With partners from around the globe, including Broad Group China, ACLU of Southern California, and local Los Angeles partners, we have created a model that addresses the needs of urban housing through scalable investment friendly development.
