INTRODUCING 7th AVENUE VILLAGE

The 7th Avenue Village in Hacienda Heights is one of 24 Project Homekey sites being developed to provide urgently needed housing for people experiencing homeless across Los Angeles County. When this project is completed (anticipated in November 2024), it will provide a stable home for 142 people pre-screened by local homeless service providers and provided with a full suite of wraparound services and supports—including two onsite managers, 24/7 staff on site, substance use disorder treatment, mental health care access, and more. This combination of housing and services is called “permanent supportive housing” and it has a proven track record of moving people from homelessness into stable and productive lives.

Questions about the project? Please email the developer/operator, Women Organizing Resources, Knowledge and Services (W.O.R.K.S.), at admin@worksusa.org to get more information and sign up for their newsletter.

Repurposing with Purpose

After serving as a Project Roomkey site during the COVID-19 pandemic, the former Motel 6 in Hacienda Heights is being converted into Permanent Supportive Housing units to house 142 individuals, plus on-site managers. When the project is completed in November 2024, each unit will have undergone a complete renovation and the property will be transformed into a place to help people rebuild their lives.

Frequently Asked Questions about Homekey: 7th Avenue Village, Hacienda Heights

What is Homekey?

Homekey is a countywide program to acquire and renovate properties like motels and hotels and turn them into housing for people experiencing homelessness in our communities. Through this program, the County is leveraging State funding, as well as some resources from the County’s allocation of American Rescue Plan Act funding, to quickly repurpose existing structures to turn them into urgently needed housing. In partnership with local homeless service providers and nonprofit affordable housing developers, this program also ensures residents are pre-screened before they move in and are provided with the services they need to live stable and productive lives.

Once renovations are complete at all 24 of the County’s Homekey sites, they will accommodate more than 2,400 individuals and family members at any given time. Already, more than 1,200 people have been served at these Homekey sites.

What is “Permanent Supportive Housing”?

Once renovations are complete, the 7th Avenue Village will be Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). This means that these homes are not temporary, like an interim, short-term shelter would be. It means that residents can move into a permanent home they can count on and care for, along with a full suite of wraparound services and supports—including 24/7 staff on site, substance use disorder treatment, mental health care access, and more. This combination of housing and services has a proven track record of moving people from homelessness into stable and productive lives.

When will the 7th Avenue Village project be completed, and how many people will be living there?

We expect the project to be completed by November 2024. When it’s finished, 142 people will live at this location as well as two on-site managers. Every resident will be pre-screened by local homeless service providers before they move in. Women Organizing Resources, Knowledge and Services (W.O.R.K.S.) will renovate the property and operate it as Permanent Supportive Housing. Formed in 1998 by a small group of women committed to meaningful action to help disadvantaged families and communities, W.O.R.K.S. has extensive experience in affordable housing, community development, finance, and advocacy.

What kind of security will exist at 7th Avenue Village?
  • Two management staff will reside on-site and numerous case managers and service coordinators (up to 13) will be on-site regularly.
  • An extensive camera surveillance system providing observation of the perimeter of the site, the entry point, and key common areas on the site will be monitored 24/7; if any suspected criminal activity is observed, the Sheriff’s Department will be contacted immediately.
  • There will be a single entry access point, with key/fob access limited to staff, residents, law enforcement, postal service, and emergency personnel. Residents will be required to escort guests personally from the entry point.
  • The entire site will be surrounded by a full perimeter permanent wrought iron fence.
  • Security guards will be on site during the initial months of occupancy to set the tone, and on an as-needed basis thereafter.

Was the Sheriff’s Department consulted?

The County and W.O.R.K.S. have been in regular contact with the local Sheriff’s station. As indicated above, W.O.R.K.S. is committed to maintaining close channels of communication with surrounding businesses, institutions and community stakeholders to make sure that, should any issues arise, will be dealt with quickly and effectively.  We also have the commitment of the Sheriff’s Department to work closely to address any challenges to community safety that may arise and to stay in close communication during construction, during the opening months of the development, and on an ongoing basis.

W.O.R.K.S. is improving an underutilized and deteriorated site, adding value to the neighborhood. In general, WORKS’ Permanent Supportive Housing developments have helped to bring unhoused persons inside, making the areas they are in safer, and improving the lives of all residents.  Home is better than the streets or the riverbeds for everyone.

How can I ask questions and get more information about this project?

常見問題

什麼是Homekey?

Homekey 是一項全縣範圍的計劃,旨在收購和翻修汽車旅館和酒店等房產,並將其變成我們社區無家可歸者的住房。通過該計劃,該縣正在利用州資金以及分配給該縣的”美國救援計劃法案”資金中的一些資源,以迅速重新使用現有的資金支配結構,將其轉變為急需的住房。該計劃與當地無家可歸者服務機構和非營利經濟適用房開發商合作,確保無家可歸者在入住前經過預先篩選,並且獲得穩定和富有成效的生活所需的服務。

當該縣的 24 個 Homekey 地點的翻修完成時,它們將可以隨時容納 2,400多名個人和家庭成員。這些Homekey地點已經為1,200多人提供了服務。

什麼是“永久性支援住房”(Permanent Supportive Housing)?

在翻修完成後,7th Avenue Village將成為永久性支援住房(PSH)。這意味著這些房屋不是臨時的,例如臨時的短期庇護所那樣。這意味著無家可歸者搬入他們可以依賴和管理的永久住所,以及全方位服務和支援 — 包括全天24小時的現場工作人員、藥物濫用障礙治療、心理保健服務等。從過往的記錄證明,住房和服務的結合可以將人們從無家可歸轉變為穩定和富有成效的生活。

7th Avenue Village項目何時完工,會有多少人住在那裡?

我們預計該項目將於 2024 年 11 月完成。完成後,該地點將居住142人以及兩名現場經理。每個居民在搬入之前都會接受當地無家可歸者服務機構的預先篩選。婦女組織資源、知識和服務(W.O.R.K.S.)將翻修該物業,並將其運營為永久性支援住房。W.O.R.K.S. 成立於 1998 年,由一小群婦女組成,致力於採取有意義的行動來幫助弱勢家庭和社區,在經濟適用房、社區發展、財政和宣傳方面擁有豐富的經驗。

7th Avenue Village有什麼安全措施?
  • 兩名將常駐現場的管理人員,和多名個案經理和服務協調員(最多13人)將定期在現場。
  • 全方位攝像監控系統將全天24小時監控場地周邊,入口點,和關鍵公共區域;如果發現任何可疑的犯罪活動,將立即聯繫縣警部門。將有一個唯一的入口,和僅限於工作人員、居住人員、執法部門、郵政服務和應急人員使用的鑰匙/遙控鑰匙。 居住人員將被要求親自護送訪客離開入口點。
  • 整個場地將被永久性鍛鐵圍欄包圍。
  • 保安人員將在該地點開放的初始幾個月定下基調,此後根據需要提供服務。

是否諮詢了縣警部門?

該縣和W.O.R.K.S.一直與當地縣警保持定期聯繫。如上所述,W.O.R.K.S.致力於與周圍的企業、機構和社區利益相關者保持密切的溝通,以確保在出現任何問題時,能夠迅速有效地處理。 我們還得到縣警部門承諾,將密切合作,解決可能出現的社區安全隱患,並在施工期間和項目開發最初的幾個月持續保持密切溝通。

W.O.R.K.S.正在改善一個未充分利用和退化的場地,為社區增加價值。總的來說,WORKS的永久性支援住房開發項目有助於將無家可歸者帶入室內,使他們所在的地區更安全,並改善所有居民的生活。 對每個人來說,家裡始終都比街道或河床更好。

我仍然擔心這個項目。我如何表達我的擔憂並提出對該項目的問題?

請發送電子郵件至 admin@worksusa.org提出您的進一步問題,並訂閱定期的W.O.R.K.S通訊,其中包含有關開發活動的最新資訊。

Preguntas Más Frecuentes

¿Qué es Homekey?

El Proyecto Homekey es un programa del condado de Los Ángeles para adquirir y renovar propiedades como moteles e hoteles y convertirlas en viviendas para personas sin hogar en nuestras comunidades. A través de este programa, el Condado estará utilizando fondos estatales, al igual que recursos de la asignación del Condado de fondos de la Ley del Plan de Rescate Americano, para reutilizar rápidamente las estructuras existentes para convertirlas en viviendas que se necesitan con urgencia. En asociación con proveedores locales de servicios para personas sin hogar y desarrolladores de viviendas económicas sin fines de lucro, este programa también garantiza que los residentes sean preseleccionados antes de mudarse y reciban los servicios necesarios para llevar una vida estable y productiva.

Después de que se completen las renovaciones en los 24 sitios del Condado del proyecto Homekey, estos sitios podrán alojar a más de 2,400 personas y familiares en cualquier momento. Desde ahora, ya se ha atendido a más de 1,200 personas en los sitios del proyecto Homekey.

¿Qué es la ``Vivienda de Apoyo Permanente``?

Cuando se completen las renovaciones, 7th Avenue Village será una “Vivienda de Apoyo Permanente.” Esto significa que estas viviendas no son temporales, como lo sería un refugio provisional a corto plazo. En estas “Viviendas de Apoyo Permanente”, los residentes pueden mudarse a un hogar permanente con el que pueden depender y cuidar. Además de tener un hogar permanente, los residentes también recibirán servicios y apoyos integrales, incluyendo a personal en la propiedad las 24 horas al día, 7 días a la semana, tratamiento de trastornos por consumo de sustancias, acceso a atención de salud mental y mucho más. Esta combinación de vivienda y servicios ha demostrado un historial comprobado de ayudar a las personas sin hogar a obtener una a vida estable y productiva.

¿Cuándo estará terminado el proyecto de 7th Avenue Village y cuántas personas vivirán allí?

Esperamos que el proyecto esté terminado para noviembre del 2024. Cuando el proyecto esté terminado, 142 personas vivirán en este local con dos gerentes en la propiedad. Antes de mudarse, todos los residentes serán preseleccionados por proveedores locales de servicios para personas sin hogar.

¿Qué tipo de seguridad habrá en 7th Avenue Village?
  • Dos gerentes que vivirán en la propiedad, varios manejadores de casos y coordinadores de servicios (hasta 13) van a estar en la propiedad regularmente.
  • Habrá un amplio sistema de vigilancia por cámara que permitirá observar el perímetro de la propiedad, el punto de entrada y las zonas comunes de la propiedad las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana; si se observa alguna sospecha de actividad criminal, se contactará inmediatamente al el Departamento del Alguacil.
  • Solamente habrá acceso a una entrada, con acceso de llave, limitado al personal, los residentes, autoridades policiales, el servicio postal y personal de emergencia. Además, no cualquier persona tendrá acceso a la propiedad. Poe ejemplo, si los residentes tienen invitados, ellos son requeridos de acompañar a sus invitados desde el punto de entrada.
  • El recinto entero será rodeado por una cerca permanente de hierro forjado.
  • Habrá guardias de seguridad en la propiedad durante los primeros meses de ocupación para establecer el tono, y posteriormente cuando sea necesario.

¿Se consultó al Departamento del Alguacil?

El Condado y la organización W.O.R.K.S. han mantenido contacto regularmente con la comisaría local del Alguacil. Como se ha indicado anteriormente, la organización W.O.R.K.S. se compromete a estar en estrecho contacto con las empresas cercanas a la propiedad, instituciones, y grupos interesados de la comunidad e mantener un canal de comunicación para asegurarse de que en caso de que surja algún problema se trate con rapidez y eficacia. También contamos con el compromiso del Departamento del Alguacil de colaborar estrechamente para afrontar cualquier dificultad de seguridad que pueda surgir y para mantener una estrecha comunicación durante la construcción, durante los meses de apertura de la propiedad y regularmente.

W.O.R.K.S. está mejorando un sitio infrautilizado y deteriorado, añadiendo valor al vecindario. En general, los desarrollos de Viviendas de Apoyo Permanente de WORKS han contribuido a que las personas sin vivienda entren bajo techo, haciendo que las zonas en las que se encuentran sean más seguras y mejorando la vida de todos los residentes. Para todos, el hogar es mejor que la calle o el cauce del río.

Sigo preocupado por este proyecto. ¿Cómo puedo dar a conocer mis preocupaciones y hacer preguntas sobre este proyecto?

Por favor, envíe un correo electrónico a admin@worksusa.org con otras preguntas que tenga y para suscribirse al boletín periódico de W.O.R.K.S con actualizaciones sobre las actividades de desarrollo.
