Last week, the LACDA celebrated the grand opening of Equa, along with Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, Linc Housing, the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health, CVS Health, and other dedicated partners. The five-story, 81-unit affordable housing development is in the unincorporated community of Avocado Heights. Units are designated for homeless households living with a mental illness and families with limited means. Equa features supportive service space, community recreation areas, property manager office space, secure bike parking, laundry facilities, a residential lobby, and open space courtyards. The LACDA provided $5 million in No Place Like Home funds and 45 Project-Based Vouchers for the development.
Supportive services for residents will include case management, mental health counseling, substance abuse counseling, education, employment and training, housing outplacement, life skills, physical health care, benefits assistance, representative payee, legal assistance, and peer advocacy and social activities.
