CRCD Celebrates Groundbreaking for 36th Street Apartments and Broadway Apartments

CRCD and its partner Little Tokyo Service Center Community Development Corporation held a groundbreaking ceremony on April 8, 2010 to celebrate the start of construction of the 36th Street Apartments and Broadway Apartments.

Upon completion in April – May 2011, these projects will provide 20 units of permanent supportive housing for low-income transition-age youth (age 18-25) who are homeless or at tremendous risk of becoming homeless, such as those aging out of foster care. CRCD and its partners will provide on-site services to support each young person’s successful transition to adulthood. The projects also include 5 units of affordable housing for other low-income households and 2 units for Resident Managers. Young people from CRCD’s South LA YouthBuild Program will help with construction.

CRCD and LTSC CDC sincerely thank the project funders including LA Housing Department, CA Department of Housing & Community Development, Housing Authority of County of LA/LA County Community Development Commission, CA Tax Credit Allocation Committee, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Community Redevelopment Agency/City of LA, Federal Home Loan Bank/City National Bank, Housing Authority of City of LA, Local Initiatives Support Corporation, Enterprise Community Partners, and Corporation for Supportive Housing.
