Words from Greg Comanor, the developer:Woodlake Family Apartments is a 100-unit, 100% affordable housing development in the Woodland Hills neighborhood in Los Angeles. The development offers 74 units of family affordable housing and 25 units of supportive housing. The development is built into a 35-foot hillside, required 18,000 cubic yards of dirt removal, and was built with 5 levels of Type III construction over 3 Levels of Type I construction. The development was designed by FSY Architects and was built by Dreyfuss Builders.Woodlake includes a variety of tenant amenities, including several community rooms, two children's play areas, case management offices, a gaming room, landscaped patios, and a recharging view of the West Valley.
Although it has been a long time in coming with a maze of permits and construction challenges, moving-in begins June 25.
And for us, it has also been a long time in coming from collecting plastic from Kehoe Beach, to photography, printing and signing at Electric Works in San Francisco, and to the installation of our prints in Los Angeles.
We are happy to join forces with family to address the pressing need for low-cost housing:
