Project brings affordable housing clinic to Skid Row

A new project is bringing permanent housing and accessible health care to the heart of Skid Row.

The Skid Row Housing Trust recently opened 649 Lofts within the forthcoming Joshua House Health Center. It celebrated its virtual grand opening on YouTube on April 30.

“It brings housing, but it also brings in health care,” said Sierra Atilano, Skid Row Housing Trust chief real estate and investment officer, at the grand opening.

“We’re looking forward to being able to respond to further health crises that should come up around Skid Row.”
