State awards $151M for more Project Homekey housing in L.A. County

A third batch of Project Homekey awards announced this month by California Governor Gavin Newsom will invest $182 million to create more than 600 units of permanent supportive housing and interim housing across the state. But the vast majority of that money, and that housing, will be located in Los Angeles County.

Homekey Round 3 funding announced on December 20 will go to seven different projects, administered by Los Angeles County and Los Angeles City agencies, generating more than 500 combined residential units. They include acquisitions of existing multifamily properties, as well as rehabilitations of motels, ranging from the South Bay to the Antelope Valley.

The projects include:

The Weingart Primrose - A project in partnership with the Weingart Center and Valued Housing, which will convert a motel in Carson into 107 apartments - including 106 units of permanent supportive housing. More than $34 million was awarded to the project.

Knight's Inn Palmdale - A project with Hope the Mission which will convert a motel in Palmdale into 100 apartments, including 99 units of permanent supportive housing. The total investment through Homekey is approximately $28.6 million.
