Menlo Family Apartments Opens in Central LA
Little Tokyo Service Center (LTSC) and Koreatown Youth & Community Center’s (KYCC) newly developed Menlo Family Apartments opened its doors to low-income and special needs residents last month. The development transformed a crime-ridden corner near the intersection of Pico Blvd. and Vermont Ave. into 60 low-income family and special needs apartments.
Menlo Family Apartments targets families earning less than 50% of Los Angeles area median income, with an entire 30 units set aside for homeless families, homeless families with children with mental illness, and homeless transitional aged youth. Over 4,000 square feet of service space and community rooms make up the ground floor providing after-school programs, life skills training, financial literacy and parenting, and mental health counseling and treatment, led by KYCC.
Century contributed $1,220,000 to the project’s acquisition and predevlopment financing.
