Step Up on Vine

1057 N. Vine St, Los Angeles, California 90038

Opened in 2013, with 34 units. Seven of these units are reserved for transition-age youth. With initial funding from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, a private contribution by Aileen Getty, and in partnership with Shangri-La Construction, Step Up on Vine was converted from a hotel into permanent supportive housing. It represents Step Up’s expansion of its “housing first” model outside of the Santa Monica area and into Hollywood.

Los Angeles County is divided into eight geographically-based Service Planning Areas (SPA). Each SPA has homeless services agencies that connect individuals, families and transition-aged youth to resources. Use LA County’s District Locator tool to find out which SPA you’re located in by inputting your location.

To be eligible for housing resources, individuals experiencing homelessness will go through an in-take process, so that they can then be connected to available resources within the Coordinated Entry System (CES). To be entered into CES you must first complete an intake survey that will assess your unique needs. This could be done at an Access Point/Center or with Outreach Teams.

You can find contact information for CES lead agencies through LAHSA’s CES Leadership Contact List or by calling (800) 548-6047.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
