MetLife 1st Place Award of Excellence in Affordable Housing

This case study features Jack Plimpton New Hope Courtyard Apartments, 14 units of permanent, rental apartments for previously homeless individuals with HIV/AIDS and their families, in Los Angeles. The developer, Project New Hope, won a first-place award in the 2001 Metropolitan Life Foundation Awards for Excellence in Affordable Housing. Project New Hope has a bilingual resident services coordinator who provides services to residents, 60 percent of whom are Hispanic. Services offered include the development of a resident service plan to assess the social and health conditions of the resident; a living skills assessment; development of a career plan, which includes providing career development tools and job placement; on-site computer classes; a remote Learning Center where computer skills needed to go back to work are taught; and Smart Spending workshops that teach money management. This program has achieved a successful balance of providing affordable independent housing for residents living with HIV/AIDS and their families and offering supportive services through staff and linkages to other organizations.
