San Diego Unified School District's Facilities Planning and Construction Department utilizes the Lease-Leaseback (LLB) delivery method for large and complex projects ranging in value from $7 to over $110 million. LLB is a method that streamlines complex construction projects and frees up funding.

All LLB projects have EBE goals. If you are a certified EBE, or a business that may be eligible for EBE certification, read on to see how you can become involved in the LLB program.
