Nonprofit plans to build 160-unit affordable housing project by 2025

A new 160-unit affordable housing project in the Washington Neighborhood could be completed by early 2025 that would provide housing for some of the lowest income households in the city as well as homeless veterans.

The project was proposed by the Skid Row Housing Trust, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that has existed for over 30 years and has 20 similar projects in the pipeline, but this is the only one of its kind in Long Beach. The project site is located at 1401 Long Beach Blvd. and has been titled “Union” by the housing trust.
