The Mid-Wilshire Housing Trust has filed plans for a crucial new affordable housing development at 5555 La Brea Ave, aiming to provide much-needed support for low-income seniors in the Mid-Wilshire area. This 5-story project, valued at an estimated $28 million, will create 85 deed-restricted units, offering stable and secure housing options for a vulnerable population.

Designed with the needs of seniors in mind, the complex will feature a variety of amenities to foster community and well-being.
