Founded in 2005, Hancock Park & DeLong, Inc. (HPD) is a small, boutique firm dedicated and focused solely on ensuring our California school district clients and other stakeholders engaged in school facilities:

​

▪  Understand, access, and maximize state, federal, and other funding programs for school construction;

▪  Have input on law and regulations that affect them; and,

▪  Have a knowledgeable representative advocating for their specific issues.  

Our experience, commitment, and success in assisting clients across the state in maximizing school facility funding is unmatched.   Hancock Park & DeLong, Inc. has a combined 70-year history of knowledge and experience in both the public and private sector in garnering grants for educational facilities.  Our record of success on behalf of our clients is clear as we have obtained nearly $2 billion in school facility grant funding and avoided the return of millions of state grant funding through successful negotiations with the Office of Public School Construction and formal appeals to the State Allocation Board.

With decades of experience as civil servants working for the Office of Public School Construction and State Allocation Board, former and the current Principals at Hancock Park & DeLong, Inc. were all significantly involved at the executive, policy and regulatory level in creating and administering the current state facility funding programs.  Members of our firm literally wrote and/or directed the writing of the majority of the regulations in effect today.  We also have been directly responsible and instrumental in assisting districts in obtaining billions of dollars in school facility funding in the last 25 years as public sector employees.  Our experience in the public sector gives us unique insight into the rules and regulations that drive a district’s financing opportunities, thereby maximizing them to their fullest.
