Welcome to Hollywood Housing

Bill Harris
Executive Director

Welcome to our Web site. When we first talked about updating the site, I saw an opportunity to show you through pictures and words all that we’ve accomplished since HCHC began in 1989. Since then, we have created 601units of quality, affordable housing for low-income families, the homeless, the disabled and seniors. And we have another 58 units in pre-development.

Our approach is holistic; it’s not just about housing, it’s about living. We create beautiful, safe environments where tenants can establish themselves and grow. Our properties encompass good urban planning, exceptional architectural solutions, quality construction and diligent property management and maintenance. A critically important component is the social services that we provide for our residents. These services are a roadmap to assist tenants in joining the economic and social mainstream.

I am especially excited to be associated with HCHC at this particular point in time. Our agency’s staff of bright, committed individuals believe as I do – that it isn’t enough just to provide shelter; it is also essential to bring services and amenities that allow our residents to grow as individuals and members of the community.

Our future is even brighter. We are looking at new approaches to land use and housing development. In 2005, we opened our latest project, Views at 270. This mixed-use development offers 56 units of housing located above new retail space at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Western Avenue. Not only is the land being used to its best potential, the location allows residents to use the adjacent Metro line or one of many bus lines which stop at the corner. Shopping is directly across the street and all levels of schools are nearby.

Our newest mixed use development, The Mariposa Place, will include 58 one, two, three and four bedroom units for low income families, with additional space for offices and retailers, including a LAPD drop-in center, a for-profit community launderette with after-tax proceeds benefitting HCHC's supportive service program and the new home of HCHC. The Mariposa Place is located in a revitalization area of Los Angeles in East Hollywood.

And finally, our efforts would have been nearly impossible without the vision and support of Councilman Eric Garcetti, Former Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg, the Mayor's office, several Los Angeles City offices and former Councilman Mike Woo. These elected officials and their staffs understand and support HCHC’s efforts to produce affordable housing that improves neighborhoods as well as the lives of our tenants.

Thanks for stopping by. If we can provide additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
