LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' office announced Saturday that the city has secured state grant funding for hundreds of new affordable housing units and infrastructure improvements.

The city applied for three separate Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities grants, which yielded a combined $103 million for the following projects:

• The Jordan Downs Redevelopment Project Phase S6 in Watts will bring 100 new units online, with 88 of those units being affordable. The funding will also allow for walk and bike lane improvements.
• The Alveare Family in South Park is the first phase of redevelopment of state-surplus land and will bring 105 new units online, with 104 of those units being affordable. The projects will include a partnership with LA Metro to purchase new Metro Rail cars for the local Metro D Line extension.
• The Century + Restorative Care Village in Lincoln Heights will bring 146 new units online, with 145 of them being affordable. The project will also construct new bus-only lanes and close an active transportation infrastructure gap between Union Station and the LA County health care campus.

"We must do all that we can to build more housing, cut through bureaucratic red tape and move with urgency toward building more affordable and climate-friendly housing," Bass said in a statement released Saturday. "I thank the California Strategic Growth Council for their partnership and investment in advancing our housing and climate goals, and building hundreds more units for Angelenos to call home."
