Dana Strand Apartments won the National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB) Pillars of the Industry Award for Best Affordable Apartment Community.

 

Dana Strand Senior Housing represents the third phase of the redevelopment of Dana Strand Village, the former public housing site. It provides 100 one-bedroom senior apartments that are affordable to house seniors with annual incomes at or below 30% of the Los Angeles County Area Median Income. The development, designed by architectural firm KTGY Group, Inc., consists of three stories of high-quality construction with 82 parking spaces. Project amenities include a computer center, a community room and energy-efficient appliances along with a wide array of resident services, including computer classes, ESL classes, and resident events.

 

The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) entered into a Limited Partnership with ROEM Development Corporation and Dana Strand Senior, LLC to develop this senior housing community. The grand opening was held in October of 2011.

 

In the past, Dana Strand has also been awarded LEED-H (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Homes) Gold certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).
