What's in the Works

The Arlington is a community-driven project scheduled to open at the end of 2025. The project transforms a blighted former oil production site into a vibrant, mixed-use, 100% affordable housing community.

There will be a total of 83 units, including 42 units of permanent supportive housing serving formerly homeless households, plus a manager's unit. There will be on-site property management, resident enrichment activities, and case management services.

Amenities include on-site laundry room, gym, and community club room with TV area, computer desks, and full kitchen. Residents will enjoy the lush landscaping, including a central courtyard with tot lot and BBQ.

The project will achieve LEED Silver certification.

Affordable Housing

This development will add 83 units of much-needed affordable housing in the Arlington Heights neighborhood for individuals and families with low, very low, and extremely low incomes, including 42 units reserved for formerly homeless households. The project was made possible by financing from the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD), the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD), the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC), the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC), and project-based vouchers from the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA).

Transit Friendly Development

The Arlington is within minutes to the nearest public transportation stops served by 4 bus lines with service to downtown LA and Culver City every 15 to 20 minutes during peak hours, connecting low, very low, and extremely low income residents to jobs and amenities. The project will also provide a total of 76 bicycle parking spots, including 10 available to the community, to encourage active mobility. The site is in a “very walkable” neighborhood per Walkscore.com with most errands accomplished on foot.

Environmental Cleanup and Justice

The project site remained vacant and blighted for years, perpetuating environmental injustice in a formerly redlined neighborhood. The project team has conducted extensive environmental testing and is implementing a remedial workplan that is approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Thanks to an award from the Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) program, this unsightly and potentially hazardous site will be transformed into an inviting asset for the community, a win for our community and public health.
