Beyond Affordable Housing: Promoting and
Implementing Service-Enriched
Housing
|
| |
Along
with its affiliate,
Beyond Shelter Housing Development Corporation,
Beyond Shelter owns and operates several service-enriched housing
sites in Central and South Los Angeles. Each of the affordable housing
properties offers on-site supportive services provided by a services
coordinator, who oversees the provision of crisis intervention and case
management services, with the goal of helping |

families achieve
improved social and economic well-being. In addition, each site features
community rooms for classes and meetings and a library. Other services
provided include parenting and adult education programs, as well as
employment programs, technology or computer centers/rooms, and after-school
tutoring and enrichment activities for children.
|
A key feature of service-enriched housing is that it allows residents to identify their
own needs and issues of concern by encouraging and supporting participation in
the decision-making process. Resident participation is supported through Resident
Management Committees, which work closely together with the services coordinator
who is primarily on-site, to
coordinate and develop activities and programs for residents.
Service-enriched housing sites in L.A. County are:
-

renovated by Beyond Shelter in 1992. Coronado Place, a former slum
