Housing the Homeless: Palo Verde Gardens

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:58:56 GMT

January 20 – Palo Verde Gardens grand opening was celebrated in Sun Valley. Palo Verde is a 60 unit permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless and very low income single adults. The residents will have access to on-site supportive services, computer lab and community room. The units came furnished and equipped with energy efficient stove, refrigerator and central air conditioning.

All units are designed to be used by formerly homeless adults, the majority of whom live with mental illnesses. HACLA is estimated to contribute over $1.2 million in Housing Assistance Payments over the 15 year contract.

Christopher Neal, 34, is one of the first residents to move to Palo Verde Gardens. A formerly homeless individual, who has been homeless and lived in a truck, is thankful for this opportunity. “I have never seen something like. So much help being given to people with mental illness. It’s amazing the amount of rent they require, it’s so low. But there are millions of people in LA who need help. I don’t want to stay here all my life.” Neal is excited about this opportunity, but thinks it’ll be wrong on his part to stay there forever. He wants to give the same opportunity he now has, to the others who are homeless and need these supportive services. He considers himself lucky to be at Palo Verde now.

Quick Facts:

45 units dedicated to homeless adults with special needs
15 units dedicated to very low income single adults
Laundry rooms, gated parking, community room, computer lab
On Site Recovery Counselor, Self Sufficiency Coordinator, Mental Health Case Manager
