A large crowd showed up to celebrate the grand opening of the latest – and last for some time – affordable housing complex to be built by the City of West Hollywood.
The city, in partnership with the West Hollywood Community Housing Corporation (WHCHC), celebrated the Grand Opening of the newly-renovated Hayworth House apartment complex at 1234 N. Hayworth Avenue on Saturday.

Members of the West Hollywood City Council, the project’s architects from Killefer/Flammang, and the WHCHC Board of Directors were in attendance to celebrate the opening of this unique affordable housing project, likely the city’s last for many years to come.
According to Paul Arevalo, another affordable housing project such as Hayworth House will come along eventually, but not for some time.
“We’ll have to work much harder to make it happen,” because of the recent loss of redevelopment dollars.
Nearly $1 billion a year in redevelopment funding that flowed from over 400 now-defunct municipal redevelopment agencies were abolished this year to help close the state’s budget gap.
According to the LA Times, the state’s redevelopment agencies were required to set aside a fifth of the revenue they generated from property tax growth to develop affordable housing.
Between 1984 and 2010, they helped build or rehabilitate more than 184,000 units, according to the California Redevelopment Assn., a lobby group.

Mr. Arevalo told WeHo News that, “when private development takes place in the city, a small amount of that will trickle in.”
He said that adding that money to “leveraging tax credits and other creative financing sources,” will allow the city to build affordable housing, “it’ll just be much more difficult.”
With the future of affordable housing in West Hollywood murky, civic leaders made the most of celebrating the latest – and last for some time – housing complex built with those now disappeared funds.
The sprawling Hayworth House apartment complex was built in the 1950s.
It was purchased in 2003 by a market-rate developer and slated for demolition.
After years of neglect, the West Hollywood Community Housing Corporation (WHCHC) with the assistance of the City of West Hollywood purchased the property in May of 2009, so it could be preserved and turned into an affordable housing complex for low-income Seniors.
The Hayworth House is a certified Green Communities renovation which features 48 units of affordable housing for Seniors age 55 and older.
Building on its experience with the Sierra Bonita Apartments, the pilot project for its Green Building Ordinance, WHCHC’s goals for the Hayworth House were to improve the relationship of the building to the street and to its neighborhood.
Additionally, the agency sought to create community spaces for the residents; to improve accessibility for the Seniors and their guests; and to introduce as many sustainable features as possible to reduce the project’s carbon footprint.

Ground was broken to begin the Hayworth renovation on November 6, 2010.
Chosen by lottery, the first residents began moving into the building this spring.
Jill Soyars, one of the original tenants thrown out of the apartment complex when the buildings were Ellised, spoke of her delight at being able to return home.
“I feel so blessed to be here,” she told the audience. “When I came back to the building after it had been renovated, I almost didn’t recognize it. It was so different, yet the heart of it was there and it felt like home.”
The project contains a new manager's office and resident services office, along with a community room which overlooks the street.
New elevators improve access for those with limited mobility; green features include upgraded insulation and double-glazed windows, improved ventilation, new plumbing and energy-efficient appliances.
The exterior of the building has new landscaping with seating areas for residents to enjoy the building and the neighborhood, with an accessible community garden area adjacent to the laundry and computer rooms.
Each unit is unique, and much of the character has been retained, including original wooden floors.
