Attachment C: Round 7 AHSC Awards Project Summaries Page 7 Eureka Scattered Sites Project
Project Location: Eureka
Applicant(s) Name: Linc Housing Corporation; City of Eureka Project Type: RIPA
Disadvantaged Community: No
Region: North State & Sierras
Total Award: $30,166,441
Project Description:
The Eureka Scattered Sites Project is a collaboration between the Linc Housing Corporation, City of Eureka, and Humboldt Transportation Authority to connect housing and transportation to Eureka’s Downtown Core Area.

Attachment C: Round 7 AHSC Awards Project Summaries Page 8 HHH New Hampshire
Project Location: Los Angeles
Applicant(s) Name: BRIDGE Housing Corporation; Los Angeles Project Type: TOD
Disadvantaged Community: Yes
Region: Coastal Southern California
Total Award: $31,047,987
Project Description:
HHH New Hampshire, a partnership between BRIDGE Housing Corporation and the City of Los Angeles, will create 93 affordable homes in the Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles. The homes are for those who previously experienced homelessness or who are at risk of homelessness. The building will include a childcare center, community room, services hub, and laundry room.
Since HHH New Hampshire is located adjacent to highly congested corridors, improvements include the creation of an alternative bike network to provide a lower - stress bikeway. Pedestrian improvements include reconstructing sidewalk and alley aprons to form over 2,000 linear feet of safe and accessible walkway. To increase local bus ridership, this project includes the purchase of seven zero- emissions vehicles for two bus routes that have excellent north- south access , connecting riders from Koreatown to Hollywood, South LA, and multiple light rail stations.
HHH New Hampshire also goes beyond basic affordable housing in its preservation of part of historic design elements at the site. Koreatown is experiencing rapid growth, with seemingly every parcel metamorphosizing into luxury housing. Gentrification is slowly stripping the community of its historic past. However, this housing project retains a portion of the original building façade of the historic Ambassador Hotel to honor the community’s historic past while addressing housing needs for the future.

Region: San Joaquin Valley
Total Award: $25,252,593
Project Description:
The Smith Avenue Apartments came together through strategic partnerships of Pacific West Communities, City of Leemore, and the Kings County Area Public Transit Agency.
The project will create 108 affordable homes for Leemore residents, along with a community building, laundry facility, playground, dog park, and pool . The homes range from one to three bedrooms, making them more accessible to varied family sizes.
Being that the affordable housing is located in a rural area, City residents, planning staff, and City Council identified transportation efficiency as a priority to accommodate future Smith Avenue Apartment residents. King County Area Public Transit Agency will purchase eight mini-buses that will be used to operate and expand the region’s micro- transit service. Using real -time data, micro-transit vehicles’ on-board computer systems can determine the most efficient routes for picking up and dropping off multiple passengers. This technology also offers riders the option to indicate any necessary mobility assistance at the simple click of a button and gets them the right level of service. This micro -transit program aims to reduce vehicle miles traveled and reduce GHG emissions by replacing single occupancy vehicle use.
In addition to the basic services offered to Smith Avenue Apartment residents , the Central Valley Coalition for Affordable Housing will also provide instructor -led classes in health and wellness, financial literacy, home -buyer education, parenting, GED preparation, and smoking cessation.
