Genesis LA provided Sheen with an loan to acquire and renovate a new "Sheenway House" located next to the new charter school.
My Home, Mi CasaThrough a partnership with Jovenes Inc., Genesis LA is purchasing scattered site residential properties in East LA to form a portfolio of more than 40 supportive housing units for at-risk young adults. This project is embarking on a new affordable housing model, which includes no public capital and no operating subsidy. The housing will serve homeless and very low-income youth between the ages of 18 and 25, and will include a unique "equity-share" program that will add to the financial self-sufficiency of the youth.
Genesis LA Spotlight Series - Azalea PlazaThe impact of Genesis LA’s investments are experienced by a range of community members. We continue to measure these impacts and seek feedback from the community in a variety of ways, including short video interviews as part of our SPOTLIGHT SERIES.
In this SPOTLIGHT SERIES, Genesis LA follows up with a resident of South LA who shops at Azalea Plaza in South Gate. Genesis LA financed Azalea Plaza in 2012-13 through our GCIF loan fund and our New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program. The Azalea Plaza was designed and constructed with significant public input and support, and has created hundreds of local jobs, provides much needed retail and community space, and generates over $2.5 million dollars in sale tax revenue for the City of South Gate, which supports other local services in the community.
