Last week Los Angeles County released $15-million in tax-exempt bonds for affordable housing development at 11016 Ramona Boulevard in El Monte. The project proposal includes the development of a four-story apartment building on a vacant lot.
Domus Development is the project developer. Newport Partners is responsible for the design concepts.

Named the Ramona Metro Point apartments, the project proposes a multi-story building featuring 50 apartments offered as a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units. The apartments will be reserved for households earning at or below 25 and 40 percent of the Los Angeles area’s median income for a period of 55 years. Nearly half of the units will be reserved for homeless households where at least one person is living with a severe mental illness.
