Construction Begins on Affordable Housing Projects

Construction will begin on October 14, 2024, at the Gibson Family Health Clinic, which will temporarily relocate to mobile units ensuring uninterrupted primary care services. Meanwhile, the Midvale Housing Project in West Los Angeles has halted construction due to a lawsuit claiming the city violated state law by changing the land's use without public hearings; this project aims to provide interim housing for the unhoused. In Bloomington, a $20 million project for 38 low-income housing units will commence next month, with nine units designated for formerly homeless individuals. Watertown is also set to start its first permanent affordable housing complex this fall, featuring over 60 units for the unhoused, supported by state funding for mental health services. These developments highlight ongoing efforts to address housing crises in various regions while facing legal and logistical challenges. Each project showcases necessary community support and funding to tackle homelessness and low-income housing shortages.
