The project was previously part of the portfolio of Skid Row Housing Trust, the once-prolific developer and operator of permanent supportive housing that dramatically collapsed in late 2022. The Ambrosia site was among many properties that found themselves in the hands of other developers after the non-profit's struggles came to light.
