Los Angeles housing officials and the RightWay Foundation announced the opening of Cincinnati Apartments in Boyle Heights on November 9. The permanent supportive housing community contains 18 fully furnished residences intended for young adults transitioning from foster care who are experiencing homelessness or face a serious risk of it.

More than an apartment key

The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles says the development also includes supportive services aimed at helping residents build stability as they enter adult life. The project draws on California’s Homekey+ investment model and reflects coordination between housing agencies and organizations serving young adults.

People leaving foster care may face immediate pressures involving rent, employment, education and access to support networks. Housing combined with services is intended to address more than the immediate need for a roof, although the announcement does not by itself establish long-term housing-retention outcomes.

The next measure is lasting stability

The opening is a concrete milestone: apartments are available in a new community. Future reporting should examine resident outcomes, access to services and the sustainability of support without making claims that have not yet been measured.
