The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) is ramping up its master leasing program with its largest building yet in Downtown Los Angeles.
LAHSA and developer Housing Diversity Corporation recently announced the opening of Vida DTLA, located at 1317 S. Grand Avenue. LAHSA, which will operate the building through master leasing, effectively becomes Vida’s landlord, and will use its 147 apartments as permanent supportive housing.
Inclusive of Vida, LAHSA’s master leasing portfolio now consists of 393 residential units. The agency bills master leasing as an important part of its strategy for bringing unhoused persons indoors.
