Project
Opened in 2013, the Arc provides 34 permanent supportive housing units for low income, chronically homeless adults with persistent mental health issues. This building plays a key role in revitalizing the neighborhood, embracing and welcoming the community. The award-winning project achieved LEED Platinum status. Of the 34 units, seven are reserved for transition-age youth. With initial funding from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, a private contribution by Aileen Getty, and in partnership with Shangri-La Construction, Step Up on Vine was converted from a hotel into permanent supportive housing. It represents Step Up’s expansion of its “housing first” model outside of the Santa Monica area and into Hollywood.
