Construction has begun on The Remi, an affordable senior housing development in Los Angeles, California, brought about by Affirmed Housing. 1216 Nadeau Street will be the site of a six-story complex with 92 studio and one-bedroom apartment houses for low-income and formerly homeless seniors. It is anticipated to be finished by the summer of 2024. The Remi, designed by Withee Malcolm Architects, is close to various off-site facilities, including transit, shopping, restaurants, and grocery stores. The property will provide homeowners with improved livability in a setting that is meant to blend in with the neighboring community.

The People Concern and Engage will provide supportive services on-site. Adult education, health and wellness, art and creativity, lifetime learning, community development, and other workshops will be available as service amenities and social activities. The roof terrace on the second story will contain open and shaded places for residents to relax and enjoy the surrounding city views, as well as common areas for big meetings and technological stations. A diversified collection of partners, including Red Stone Equity Partners, Capital One, the County of Los Angeles, CTCAC, and Century Housing, are funding the Remi. The development involves community participation as well as significant financial and permitting skills, leveraging Affirmed’s capabilities.
Commentary on the Los Angeles The Remis senior housing
“The Remi is Affirmed’s tenth affordable housing development in Los Angeles County.” During the epidemic, we are delighted to assist and house LA County’s most vulnerable population, Seniors. We are grateful for our ongoing and new ties with financial and development groups, which allow us to quickly get the required money to begin construction on vital housing projects like this one.” Affirmed Housing Executive Vice President Jimmy Silverwood “According to the California Housing Partnership’s 2020 Los Angeles County Older Adults: Housing Needs Report, three out of four older adult renter households earning less than 15% of the local median income spend more than half their income on housing,” Emilio Salas, LACDA Executive Director, stated.
It would have been nice if the builders, architects, etc. included underground parking for the residents. What were they thinking? That no homeless seniors have cars. Parking around the neighborhood is scarce, especially after working hours. Who wants to park and walk blocks from their home? Disheartening.
