In unincorporated Florence-Firestone<\/a>, construction is complete for a new affordable housing complex next door to the A Line.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Metro @ Florence Apartments, developed by Meta Housing Corp.,<\/a> replaced a car wash at 7220 Maie Avenue<\/a>\u00a0next to Florence Station. The new seven-story building features 160 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments reserved for households earning between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income level<\/a>. At the time of the project’s groundbreaking, it was expected that 72 units would serve as permanent supportive housing.<\/p>\n

Besides housing, approved plans called for more than 12,000 square feet of open space for residents (including a rooftop deck and a courtyard), 3,100 square feet of ground-floor retail space, 2,100 square feet of community and office space, and parking for 120 vehicles.<\/p>\n

Funding sources for the project include $51 million in bonds among other money approved by Los Angeles County. Additionally, the California Strategic Growth Council awarded $30.8 million<\/a> for the project in 2023 through the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program, which was expected to cover the cost of on-site supportive services, laundry facilities, outdoor recreation areas, and the purchase of nine zero emission buses.<\/p>\n
