Sable Beal, 23, is one of the residents. “I feel more secure and now I have a place I can come home to on a regular basis. I don’t have a time limit … this allows me to be independent and grow.”
Women Organizing Resources Knowledge and Services (W.O.R.K.S.) is the developer and Jovenes Inc. is the main supportive service provider. Department of Mental Health will provide mental health service through Filipino American Services Group, Inc. (FASGI). Other supportive service partners include Amanacer Community Counseling Services and El Centro del Pueblo.
“I know how hard it is to make something like this happen,” explained HACLA President and CEO Douglas Guthrie. “It takes a tremendous amount of commitment, it probably took 7 or 8 layers of different sorts of financing and different agencies to put this all together at the same time. It takes perseverance to really do this. And, we appreciate the work you do Channa and work of your staff. Thank you very much.”
Channa Grace is the President of W.O.R.K.S.
To date, HACLA has committed rental subsidy for 2505 PSHP units.
Star Apartments is another notable project to benefit from HACLA’s contribution of Project-based Section 8 vouchers. The complex is the first prefabricated housing project in Los Angeles. A fall 2013 opening is expected for nonprofit developer Skid Row Housing Trust’s 102-unit permanent supportive housing complex at the southeast corner of Sixth and Maple streets.
