LACDMH Director Dr. Lisa H. Wong joined Emilio Salas, Executive Director of the Los Angeles County Development Authority; Catherine Landers, Housing and Homeless Deputy for Third District County Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath; Fernando Morales, Deputy Chief of Staff for Los Angeles Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky; and EAH Housing leadership for the grand opening and ribbon-cutting of the Pointe on La Brea apartments in Hollywood on May 6.
The event took place on the apartment building’s rooftop overlooking much of the surrounding La Brea Avenue community, including a view of the Hollywood sign. The celebration featured live music from a guitarist and hors d’oeuvres. Dr. Wong spoke about the importance of community in providing housing to those in need. After the speakers finished, the event moved to the ground-floor courtyard for the ribbon-cutting.
The Pointe on La Brea has 50 affordable housing units, including 24 funded by $5.2 million in No Place Like Home dollars and four units designated under the County’s Mental Health Housing Program. The complex features a courtyard, a community room, a roof deck, on-site laundry, and case management services on-site.
