Should your city build more affordable apartments for low- and moderate-income renters?
Elysian Housing has started construction of The Green, a seven-story complex at 21155 Califa Street in Warner Center. The project will include 316 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments reserved for low- and moderate-income renters.
Why it matters
The project adds affordable rental units to Los Angeles, where the Warner Center area has roughly a half-dozen similar affordable projects in the works. It follows plans filed last year with the City of Los Angeles.
The Green will offer 316 one-, two-, and three-bedroom units above parking for 300 vehicles, with two manager's units excluded from income restrictions. The stub does not specify a completion date or project cost.
