Los Angeles County is filling up with new luxury apartments that, according to most experts, many working- and middle-class residents can’t afford. Solving the affordability problem, and by extension, the homelessness crisis, will require the addition of less-expensive residences. The following projects are designed to add much-needed affordable units to L.A.’s rental market.

HiFi Collective
Once completed, the project will have 63 supportive housing units and one manager’s unit. Supportive housing combines affordable housing with services for vulnerable populations, such as people who were previously homeless. HiFi will also house Search to Involve Pilipino Americans’ headquarters on the first floor.
