2012 Gold Nugget GRAND AWARD<\/strong>
\nBest Senior Affordable Housing Project<\/p>\n

Formerly the Department of Public Social Services for West Los Angeles, the 20-year vacant building was a magnet for weeds, graffiti and vagrants.\u00a0 Named after LA County Supervisor, Zev Yaroslavsky (one of the project\u2019s champions), the project provides 45 1-bedroom affordable senior apartments and one 2-bedroom Manager\u2019s unit within a 2-story wood-framed building over an at-grade concrete parking structure.\u00a0\u00a0 The Owner, Menorah Housing Foundation chose to establish their new Headquarters in the ground floor commercial office space.<\/p>\n

One challenge of the project was to protect and incorporate the established ficus trees that shade the sidewalk fronting the structure on Pico Boulevard.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
