L-Line Housing Project

Who is this serving?

Families that have been kicked out of their houses from the soaring rent prices, single mothers are at a disadvantage trying to take care of their children and also providing an income and unaccompanied woman.

Why do we need access to transportation?

It is important that a light-rail, bus stop, or other forms of public transportation are in close proximity because for the housing to be successful people will need to have easy access to get to their work, school, and other everyday activities. Having a sense of normalcy and independence improves the behaviors of the people that are living in these homes and will be less likely to end up back on the streets.

Where is this apartment building going to go?

Located at the east end of the Los Angeles State Historical Park is an empty lot that could be turned into the new space for this building. It is within walking distance of the metro stop as well as the park, the LA River, the Dodgers Stadium, schools, and many opportunities for work. The buildings are located next to the Womens Building, which is a women owned building that hosts many events, fundraisers, and shows to promote the work of women in the community.
