Project Stabilization Agreements provide numerous benefits for communities. This site provides the facts and the real truth about PSAs, from the perspective of the taxpaying public.

Project Stabilization Agreements protect the community by setting worksite standards, including safety procedures and access to healthcare; by providing middle-class career opportunities for our high school graduates, and by guaranteeing that local bond funds are reinvested into the community through local hiring requirements. All this is accomplished without increasing cost.

Public agencies increasingly are finding PSAs to be a smart solution for efficient public works project management that boosts the local economy by providing good local jobs.

“We bemoan high dropout rates, but we have the opportunity to give them a choice if they don’t want to go to college…Local hire has fulfilled our goals here in Los Angeles by helping create a bridge between the community and our contractors.”
