Skid Row Housing Trust
The Skid Row Housing Trust (SRHT), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit affordable housing developer operating in Los Angeles County, provides permanent supportive housing for the most vulnerable by advancing its mission through critical programs and services. In response to the crisis of homelessness, SRHT renovates existing buildings and adds units to LA County’s affordable housing stock by investing in new construction with fully integrated spaces for health and social services on-site. SRHT also delivers case management to people designated by LA County’s Coordinated Entry System as “high acuity” (those with the highest needs).
SRHT’s innovative property management model recruits property management professionals from formerly homeless residents; the company manages 1,976 units. The SRHT Asset Management team is also responsible for stewardship of SRHT’s $737 million real estate portfolio.
The Skid Row Housing Trust celebrated the grand opening of two projects last year – 649 Lofts and FLOR 401 Lofts, providing 152 desperately needed permanent supportive housing units in LA County’s most under-resourced neighborhood, Skid Row. Both properties were among the first five communities completed with Prop HHH funds from the City of Los Angeles. 649 Lofts has the distinction of housing Joshua House Health Center, a 25,000 square foot state-of-the-art clinic owned and operated by partner LA Christian Health Centers. The health center is anticipated to serve over 7,000 vulnerable people a year with 18 medical exam rooms, six counseling rooms, nine mental health services rooms, and three optometry rooms, as well as meeting rooms and 13 social work offices.
Additionally, the Trust partnered with Simon Baron Development to turn the Cecil Hotel into 100% affordable housing, which will provide 600 affordable, safe and stable homes to our unhoused neighbors.
This year, the Trust will celebrate the Grand Opening of SP7, and project that will add an additional 99 units of Permanent Supportive Housing in Skid Row.
