Founded in 1989, Hollywood Community Housing Corporation (HCHC) is among the oldest nonprofit affordable housing and service providers in Los Angeles County, currently operating 31 properties with 1,243 units of housing, supporting over 2,500 individuals. They fulfill a vital need in LA County by providing permanent supportive housing and affordable housing for low-income families, formerly unhoused individuals, seniors, and those with special needs.
At Hollywood Community Housing, we create more than just buildings. We foster opportunity, stability, and dignity for people who have been priced out of the housing market. Our residents include low-income families, seniors, and formerly homeless individuals, and our work ensures they have access to high-quality housing in thriving, connected neighborhoods.
HCHC received a working capital loan from NFF in 2020 to support four projects in various stages of completion. A new $2 million loan from NFF will support HCHC in its pipeline of seven housing projects as of fall 2024, including a project in Santa Monica that consists of two sites. This capital will also help HCHC provide a broader array of services to residents, extending successful programs to all who live in their communities.
We’re proud that our partnership with NFF has allowed HCHC to keep moving forward on transformative housing developments, especially during the predevelopment phase when funding is hardest to secure. With NFF’s support, projects like Casa de la Luz and our new Santa Monica developments are already shaping a more equitable future for Angelenos.
