On March 28, developer Decro Corporation marked the debut of The Brine, a new affordable housing complex in Lincoln Heights with a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring County Supervisor Hilda Solis and Los Angeles City Councilmember Ysabel Jurado.
"Brine Residential in Lincoln Heights is exactly the kind of project we need more of across Los Angeles County—one that combines housing with services, and vision with action," said Solis in a news release. "Here in the First District, we are maximizing community benefits of our public-owned properties located near public transit and other accessible services for our vulnerable residents. By investing in permanent supportive housing and inclusive community spaces, we are not just addressing homelessness—we are building healthier, more resilient neighborhoods where every resident has the opportunity to thrive."

The name of the project, located at 3016 N. Main Street, alludes to the historic occupant of the property - the A 1 Eastern Homemade Pickle Company. The building includes 97 units of affordable housing, 72 of which are permanent supportive housing catering to adults, transition-age youth, and families. On-site amenities include a library, a teaching kitchen, an art room, a courtyard, a sky deck, and laundry facilities. Additionally, on-site supportive services are provided by Violence Intervention Program and The People Concern, with support from Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and Department of Health Services.
The apartments include a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom dwellings, priced for very low- and extremely low-income households.

Designed by AC Martin, the construction stands five stories in height, and includes approximately 28,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space for local businesses, non-profits, or other community-serving businesses. The project also included the preservation of a trio of early 20th century houses, which have been incorporated into the development.
Funding for The Brine came from the Los Angeles Housing Department, Los Angeles County Development Authority, Redstone Equity Partners, Citibank, Measure H, and HACLA.
