City and housing partners marked the opening of Atlas Apartments, a 127-unit affordable supportive housing community in South Los Angeles, where officials said 110 housing choice vouchers have been committed to the site. Council President Marqueece Harris‑Dawson and representatives from the Housing Authority and Link Housing attended the event.

"We're so excited to be at the grand opening of brand new affordable supportive housing community here in the heart of South LA. 3, 2, 1. A 127 units that will welcome individuals that are exiting homelessness, thanks to a partnership between Link Housing, the City Of LA, the housing authority, and the county," Council President Marqueece Harris‑Dawson said.

Housing Authority speakers said the authority committed 110 vouchers to Atlas Apartments to allow extremely low‑income individuals to live at the site. A person who identified as formerly homeless spoke at the opening about personal experience, saying the housing represented a major change after years without stable housing.

Officials framed Atlas Apartments as part of a larger pipeline of projects: city remarks said roughly 38 projects are expected to come online in 2025, totaling about 2,000 units. At the opening, speakers emphasized supportive services and neighborhood improvements tied to new housing, including traffic and safety measures and efforts to attract retail amenities.

Speakers described the project as a partnership among Link Housing, the City of Los Angeles, the local housing authority, and the county. The event included ribbon‑cutting remarks and resident testimony; no legislative votes or new ordinance actions were reported at the event.

The opening is presented by city and nonprofit housing partners as one element of ongoing efforts to house people exiting homelessness and expand affordable housing across the city. Officials did not provide a detailed breakdown of financing sources for Atlas Apartments at the event; funding specifics were not specified in the transcript.

For now, officials said the committed vouchers and the new units will house people who had been experiencing homelessness and that similar projects are slated to come online in 2025.
