Just west of Downtown Los Angeles, the vertical construction is complete for Firmin Court, a new affordable and permanent supportive housing development from Decro Corp. and Innovative Housing Opportunities.
Located on the former site of two 19th century houses at 418-430 N. Firmin Street, the project consists of a seven-story building that will feature 45 units of permanent supportive housing and 19 apartments for low-income households. Plans call for a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom dwellings, as well as at-grade parking for 10 vehicles.
The Spanish Colonial Revival style building is designed by Dahlin Group.
According to a staff report to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, the roughly $38.5-million project will serve households earning at or below 30 and 60 percent of the area median income. Rents are expected to range from $509 to $1,512 per month.
Decro Corp., based in Culver City, is also developing affordable and supportive housing in Lincoln Heights and Van Nuys.
Innovative Housing Opportunities, located in Santa Ana, is partnering on a development in South Los Angeles.
