Bill Harris Executive Director

The Hollywood Community Housing Corporation has been at the forefront of Hollywood’s revitalization since 1989. Our projects have restored historic structures, replaced blight and crime-ridden sites and attracted new and better development in areas that developers had previously avoided. We have created 717 units of quality, affordable housing for low-income families, the homeless, the disabled and seniors; and we have new projects 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, and quality construction. We also provide diligent property management and maintenance, both crucial to ensuring that our properties remain attractive and safe for the long term.

A critical component of our work is the social services we provide for residents. Our 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 serve as a roadmap to assist tenants in joining the economic and social mainstream.

For the future, we are looking at new approaches to land use and housing development. HCHC was on the cutting edge in partnering with a for-profit organization to create a mixed-use development, Views at 270. Views offers 56 units of housing above a Walgreen’s Drug store at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Western Avenue. Not only is the land being used to its highest and best potential, the location allows residents quick and easy access to public transportation, shopping and all levels of school.

Our newest mixed use development, The Mariposa Place Apartments includes 58 units for low income families, with additional space for HCHC’s offices, an LAPD drop-in center, and a for-profit community launderette with after-tax proceeds benefiting HCHC's supportive services. The Mariposa Place Apartments are located in a revitalization area of East Hollywood.

Our efforts would have been nearly impossible without the vision and support of Councilman Eric Garcetti, the Mayor's office, 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. We are also grateful to several Los Angeles City offices, especially the Community Redevelopment Agency and the Los Angeles Housing Department.

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