Holos Communities Breaks Ground on 40-Unit Supportive Housing Project at 728 Lagoon Avenue in Wilmington

• Holos Communities, led by CEO Sasha Blair-Goldensohn, has begun construction on a 40-unit supportive housing project at 728 Lagoon Avenue in Wilmington, Los Angeles.
• The development, called Safe Harbor II, will include 39 supportive housing units designed to assist residents transitioning out of homelessness.
• The four-story project will feature community spaces, courtyards, and on-site supportive services.

What the project includes

Construction has started on Safe Harbor II, a new permanent supportive housing development at 728 Lagoon Avenue in Wilmington. The project is being developed by Holos Communities, a nonprofit housing developer focused on affordable and supportive housing projects across Los Angeles. Plans call for a four-story building with 40 apartments, including 39 supportive housing units. These units are intended to provide stable housing for individuals who require additional support services.

What the design means for the development

The building is being designed by LOHA (Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects). Renderings show a contemporary structure finished in gray and white exterior materials. The development will include three outdoor courtyards, a community room, and a garden space intended to support resident wellness and community interaction. Plans also include offices for supportive service providers and on-site property management, ensuring residents have direct access to assistance programs.

What the project means for housing in Wilmington

Safe Harbor II is part of a broader effort to expand supportive housing options in Los Angeles, particularly in neighborhoods like Wilmington, where affordable housing supply remains limited. The project also complements another nearby development from the same team at 828 Anaheim Street, where Holos Communities is planning a 50-unit affordable housing project. Together, the two developments will add 90 units of supportive and affordable housing to the Wilmington area, helping address housing instability while expanding long-term housing resources for vulnerable residents.
