New Hope Apartments sits on a steeply sloped site near the Santa Monica Pier and the Third Street Promenade, and offers beautiful views of the nearby beachfront. Previous affordable housing on the site had been demolished after being irreparably damaged in the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Thirteen one-bedroom and twelve two-bedroom units are arranged in a U-shape around a series of courtyards opening to the ocean to the west. Units feature in-room washer/dryers and private patios or balconies.
Funding for the project came from the AIDS ministry of the Episcopal Archdiocese, federal HOPWA funds from the County and City of Los Angeles, the City of Santa Monica, and a grant from US Trust.
Nominated for the 1999 Project of the Year by the Southern California Association for Non-Profit Housing, New Hope Apartments was done in cooperation with Ralph Mechur Architects.
