In continuing efforts to get a handle on L.A.’s growing homeless population and income inequality, the County Board of Supervisors has approved more than $151 million in funding for affordable and permanent supportive housing developments construction. The projects, according to Urbanize, will be located in South L.A. and at the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Campus.
One of the projects led by Abode Communities will consist of a 59 affordable units—including 28 apartments for low-income families, 21 apartments for unhoused individuals suffering from mental illness, and nine units for transition age youth.
Another newly funded project will features two separate apartment buildings. One, dubbed “the Family Building,” will have 118 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments reserved for households earning between 30-80 percent of the L.A. median income, per Urbanize. The second, called “the Senior Project,” will be home to 62 one-bedroom units for older adults earning up to 30 percent of the area median income.
Finally, a third project funded by the county will be located near the Veterans Affairs Campus. That building, known as “Building 402,” will include 120 studio and two-bedroom apartments reserved for individuals or families earning up to 30 percent of the area median income.
