This week, LA Family Housing and LAFH Builds turned the page on a former motel site, officially opening The Pano, a permanent supportive housing community in Van Nuys that will create a pathway from homelessness to stability for our most vulnerable neighbors.
This project is especially exciting for us, as we developed the property through California’s Project Homekey, an initiative to convert aging motels into permanent supportive housing. Instead of simply converting the existing motel into housing, we were able to leverage the size of the property to construct a new apartment building, increasing the total number of homes from 48 to 90!
It has been a tremendous privilege to work alongside elected officials, funders, and partners who understand the power of permanent supportive housing to transform communities and change lives. A big thank you to everyone who helped bring The Pano back to life. Your incredible commitment makes projects like this possible; we couldn’t do it without your continued support!
