Since 2017, when AHF first kicked off its housing program to address L.A.’s homeless and affordable housing crises, the Healthy Housing Foundation has spent over $183 million purchasing a variety of existing older residential properties throughout Greater Los Angeles—old single-room-occupancy (SRO) hotels, former roadside or chain motels, older apartment buildings—and refurbished and repurposed them as affordable housing and extremely-low-income housing.

  • The purchase price for the Leland was $6,750,000—or approximately $108,870 per room or housing unit—a fraction of the half-million-dollar and up per housing unit the City of Los Angeles routinely spends on newly constructed affordable housing.
  • AHF’s Healthy Housing Foundation was created to help address the rampant affordable housing crisis sweeping the nation.
  • We are delighted to add the 62-rooms of the Leland Hotel—which was completely uninhabitable prior to AHF’s purchase—to our roster of affordable housing here in Los Angeles,” said Michael Weinstein, president of AHF.
