Size

22,011 sq. ft.
This three-story low-rise supportive housing development will offer critical supportive housing in North Hollywood for homeless individuals and transition-aged youth.

The project utilizes modular construction and a simpler capital stack to bring supportive housing to North Hollywood faster and cheaper. This innovative project will bring 48 units of supportive housing online before the end of 2023. The project reflects the belief that life can have more meaning when we are surrounded by people who love and support us. The building’s form echoes this theme by encircling a community south facing courtyard for gatherings.

Transitioning to the residential neighborhood along Lemp Avenue, the building visually steps down and conceals the vehicular entry. The open stairs are brightly colored to encourage active pedestrian circulation as well as visual and physical connection to the outdoors.

This centralized communal space ties the project to various amenities located along Vanowen Street which are additionally enhanced by landscaping along the periphery for privacy.

Vanowen is the first Proposition HHH Challenge project to close financing and begin construction.
