BRIDGE Housing announced Thursday its revitalization initiative at the Jordan Downs public housing development in Watts created more than 100 jobs in the first phase of construction, and 70% of the hires were local.
The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles selected BRIDGE Housing and the Michaels Organization in 2012 to turn 700 units at Jordan Downs into a “larger mixed-income community,” according to the affordable housing nonprofit. The goal was to transform the deteriorating public housing site into a place where all residents have access to health and other services and a path to economic advancement.
