Framing is starting to rise at 200 Washington Boulevard, in Historic South-Central, Los Angeles. It will bring various levels of low-income housing to the area, as well as retail space. AMCAL is behind the development in partnership with Coalition for Responsible Community Development (CRCD), a local community-based nonprofit. They have entitled it “La Prensa Libre Apartments.”

The development will include 25 units set aside for transition-age youth between the ages of 18-24 earning up to 30% of AMI, which will have project-based vouchers from the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) and case management services from CRCD.
