Community Corp of Santa Monica celebrated the successful groundbreaking of an affordable housing project at 1819 Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica. The project proposal includes constructing a four-story building with residential units, commercial space, and basement parking. The $41-million project has secured generous funding from tax credit equity, a bank loan, and $13.3 million provided by the City of Santa Monica.
