Big News! A win for Venice Dell. The LA County Superior Court ruled in favor of Venice Community Housing and , finding that the Board of Transportation Commissioners exceeded its authority when it attempted to block the affordable housing project. Thank you, for representing us!

This decision is a major victory for affordable housing, supportive housing, and the future of Venice.

Venice Dell will provide 120 affordable and supportive homes for individuals and families on a City-owned lot identified for affordable housing development nearly a decade ago.

After years of delays, we are one step closer to breaking ground.

We are proud to celebrate VCH Site Monitor Sean Gregory, who was recently honored by the Los Angeles Poverty Department during this year’s “Walk the Talk” parade on Skid Row in recognition of his community leadership and work with LA CAN (Los Angeles Community Action Network) and the Refresh Spot.

Anyone who knows Sean knows the humor and kindness he brings to every interaction. He has a way of making people feel comfortable, seen, and respected, and that spirit carries through
in his work every day. Through his dedication to supporting others and building community with care and authenticity, Sean has made a meaningful impact on Skid Row and brings this experience to his work at VCH.

Congratulations to Sean on this well-deserved recognition. We are grateful to have him as part of the VCH family.

We’re excited to share some wonderful momentum at VCH’s Lincoln apartments, where we recently had three vacancies filled in just one week. This quick turnaround reflects strong coordination across our team, and we’re especially grateful for the support from our MSW intern Wynter and property manager Marissa in helping new residents move in smoothly.

One of our new residents, Francesca, shared that she has experienced homelessness since the age of 16. Moving into this home marks a profound milestone, her very first apartment of her own. Moments like this remind us why this work matters: creating stability, dignity, and a true place to belong.

We’re proud to welcome these new residents and celebrate the start of their next chapter.

Two Saturdays, one incredible community.

This year’s Venice Design Series brought friends and family together in spaces shaped by creativity and care. Guests visited the studios of Charles Gaines and Mixografia, gathered over lunch at Maydan Market, and spent time at Bloom Ranch exploring the land through tours and hands-on activities.

Together, we raised over $150,000 to support VCH’s mission of building affordable housing across Los Angeles. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this possible. It was a joy to share these experiences with you.

May begins with May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, a time when people around the world recognize the contributions of workers and the importance of solidarity, dignity, and collective action.
 
In Los Angeles, May Day often brings together labor advocates, immigrant rights organizers, and community groups working across movements to uplift shared goals and support one another. It is a reminder of the importance of community voice and the ongoing work of protecting and uplifting the people who make our city strong.
 
These posters come from our friends at the Center for the Study of Political Graphics, an educational and research archive that collects, preserves, documents, and exhibits posters relating to historical and contemporary movements for social change. Their May Day digital exhibition features 25 U.S. and international posters from 1895 to 2026, highlighting how artists and organizers across generations have used posters to reflect the struggle for workers’ rights, capturing both historical moments and messages that still resonate today. Head to to see the rest of the digital exhibition.

Our newest mural is complete!
 
Created in partnership with ._ and mural artist River Garza, this piece reflects the heart of our community-led design approach: creating spaces shaped by the people who live there.
 
The mural is part of a larger public art installation on the property that also includes a sculpture by artist Glen Wilson, bringing complementary works of art to the property that celebrate culture, creativity, and belonging.
 
We’re proud to celebrate this beautiful addition to our building and grateful to everyone helping bring the full vision to life.

This Earth Day, we’re reminded that it’s not always easy being green, but it’s always worth it.
 
Affordable housing is often held to higher environmental standards than market-rate development, with targets like receiving LEED and Enterprise Green Communities certificates shaping how we design and build.
 
At VCH, we’re proud to meet that challenge. Our Rose Apartments and The Journey are both LEED certified, and the projects under construction in our pipeline are pursuing LEED and/or Enterprise Green Communities certification. These standards push us to create homes that are healthier, more energy efficient, and built to last.
 
Because building sustainably isn’t just about buildings, it’s about making sure the communities they serve can thrive for generations.

Last week, our Co-Executive Director Allison Riley spoke at the 9th Annual Commemoration of the Venice Japanese American Memorial Monument.

The monument stands at the corner of Venice and Lincoln, marking the spot where, in April 1942, approximately 1,000 Japanese American residents from Westside communities were forced to line up with only what they could carry before being bused to Manzanar. It is a powerful reminder of a painful chapter in our community’s history, and a call to remain vigilant so that displacement and injustice are not repeated in new forms today.

We also heard from Iris, the mother of a Westside Youth Academy graduate who was connected to the VJAMM Committee through Venice Community Housing. Iris volunteers with her family every month to help maintain the monument, and we’re grateful for her dedication and care for this space.

VCH is honored to serve as the fiscal sponsor for the VJAMM Committee and to partner in maintaining the monument. Staff, residents, and Westside Youth Academy students come together to help care for this space, ensuring it remains a place of reflection, education, and respect.

By preserving this history, we also affirm our shared responsibility to stand against displacement in all its forms and to support communities’ ability to remain rooted, safe, and connected. We are proud to stand alongside community partners in uplifting the voices and stories this monument represents and honoring them through continued advocacy for stable, inclusive communities.

We’re excited for the upcoming Venice Design Series tours on April 25 and May 2. On April 25, we’ll visit artist studios and creative spaces across Los Angeles, followed by a May 2 trip to Bloom Ranch.

From conceptual art and collaborative printmaking to a working farm rooted in wellness and community, these special places offer a behind-the-scenes look at how creativity takes shape in different environments. We’re sharing more about what makes each destination unique.

Below is a snapshot of what we’ll explore at each location, with more on our blog — click the link in our bio to learn more.

Bloom Ranch — May 2
Set on more than 250 acres, Bloom Ranch is a working farm rooted in wellness, agriculture, and community. Led by Dr. Bill Releford, the site connects land stewardship, food, and cultural history in a space designed for reflection and connection.

Charles Gaines Studio — April 25
Step inside the purpose-built studio of conceptual artist Charles Gaines, whose work uses structured systems to explore how we see and understand the world. The space offers a rare look at how process, repetition, and experimentation shape large-scale installations as they evolve.

Mixografia — April 25
This pioneering Los Angeles printmaking workshop collaborates with artists to push the boundaries of what a print can be. Through innovative techniques and sculptural paper processes, Mixografia transforms ideas into tactile, dimensional works.

Maydan Market — April 25
Part food hall, part community hub, Maydan Market brings together multiple kitchens around a shared live-fire hearth. The thoughtfully designed space encourages collaboration, cultural exchange, and gathering.

Friends, we need your help before the Council Budget Committee meets on Monday. The City Attorney is asking for more funding for outside counsel to fight Venice Dell — the project City Council already approved. Twice.

Let’s remind our elected officials that LA residents value fiscal responsibility, accountability, and affordable homes for all. Visit the link in our bio to send a 1-click email to City Council members, and then share with friends and family — we need as many emails as possible sent before Monday morning!

Thank you for supporting affordable housing.
