LOS ANGELES, CA – Linc Housing, a nonprofit developer of affordable and supportive housing, joined Atlas residents, leaders from the City and County of Los Angeles, and community partners to celebrate the grand opening of Atlas, a 127-home affordable and supportive housing community. Sixty homes are for people who were chronically homeless and 66 are for people at risk of losing their housing. By addressing both urgent need and prevention, Atlas represents an important step forward in Los Angeles’ efforts to reduce homelessness.
“Every home we create is a lifeline,” said Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson, Los Angeles City Council. “Atlas not only offers dignity and stability to people who have struggled with homelessness, it also helps prevent others from ever experiencing it in the first place. This new community is proof that when the city, county, state, and nonprofit partners work together, we can move the needle on homelessness.”
Named after the Atlas butterfly – a global symbol of transformation and rebirth – this is Linc’s first completed Project Homekey development in the region. Homekey is the State of California’s groundbreaking initiative to transform underused properties into long-term affordable and supportive housing.
“Atlas embodies the power of collaboration,” said Rebecca Clark, CEO, Linc Housing. “Thanks to Governor Newsom’s Project Homekey initiative, and the commitment of the state, city, and county, we’re able to bring more of the housing and services that people urgently need. At Linc, we know that solving homelessness requires both providing homes for people already on the streets and preventing others from losing their housing. Atlas does both.”
Before its renovation, Atlas, located at 1650 Florence Avenue in Los Angeles, was an uninhabited, recently constructed market-rate apartment building. Today it offers 126 one-bedroom homes and one manager’s unit, along with a community room with computer stations, case management offices, long-term bicycle parking, outdoor courtyards, and a rooftop deck.
The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) worked with the city and state to purchase the building with State Homekey funding and provided project-based Section 8 vouchers that insure rent stability for residents.
“Without rental support, too many Angelenos risk falling into homelessness simply because market rents are out of reach,” said Lourdes Castro Ramírez, President & CEO, Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA). “HACLA is proud to be part of this partnership; not only to make sure our most vulnerable neighbors are housed, but also to ensure their security to remain housed long term.”
Many residents came to Atlas through the Los Angeles County Coordinated Entry System and the County’s Department of Health Services’ Housing for Health program, which provides the funding for wraparound services for residents who were homeless. Housing for Health also operates an innovative Homeless Prevention Unit that uses predictive analytics to identify and assist people who are likely to fall into homelessness. About 35 residents were referred to Atlas through this effort.
“It takes far more resources to help someone recover from homelessness than to prevent it in the first place,” said Leepi Shimkhada, interim director of Housing for Health at the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. “Through Atlas, we’re doing both: supporting people who have lived on the streets with housing and care, while also preventing others from ever becoming homeless. With strong partnerships across the City of L.A., the state, and organizations like Linc, and guided by a ‘whatever it takes’ philosophy, we’re making sure people not only stay housed but also feel part of a community through on-site wraparound services.”
Residents who were chronically homeless receive wraparound services including mental and physical health care, employment counseling and job placement, education, substance use counseling, financial coaching, and community referrals. All residents also benefit from case coordination, health and wellness programs, workforce and financial development workshops, and digital equity initiatives.
For Roderick, a new resident, Atlas has been life-changing. After decades of homelessness and challenges with substance use, he is now stably housed and committed to his health. He also helps care for his mother who is living with dementia nearby at a care facility. “This new home has changed my life tremendously,” Roderick said. “I’m stable now, and I get to see my mom every day. I finally feel like I can build a future.”
The majority of financing for the initial acquisition came from Project Homekey funds from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development, administered by the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD). LAHD also contributed HOME/American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds, Proposition HHH funds, and funding from the Community Development Block Grant program. Additional HOME/ARP and LAHD reserve funding supported construction.
Renovations on Atlas began in May 2024 with designs by Y&M Architects and construction by T. Morrissey Corporation. The building is now fully occupied with residents moving in since March. All homes are for households at or below 30% of area median income.

CHARLOTTE, NC – Ginkgo Residential announced that it has acquired a five-property multifamily portfolio totaling 647 units across the Charleston, South Carolina metropolitan area. The off-market opportunity marks a continuation of Ginkgo s strategic focus on high-growth, high-barrier-to-entry Southeastern markets and represents the company s second acquisition in 2025.
The multifamily communities include: Brackenbrook Apartments (168 apartments), North Bluff Apartments (144 apartments), The Landing (119 apartments), Sawbranch Apartments (112 apartments) and Woodlocke Apartments (104 apartments).
The acquisition was completed in a joint venture between Ginkgo REIT Inc. and J.P. Morgan Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (JPMREIT).
Originally developed between 1975 and 1985, the portfolio has been owned and professionally managed by the same group for many decades. The properties are located in established workforce housing submarkets with strong proximity to major area employers such as Boeing, Mercedes-Benz Vans, and Trident Health. The communities are currently 93.5% occupied and average 991 square feet per unit.
The prior ownership invested heavily in long-term capital improvements. Ginkgo plans to build on this strong foundation by creating a strong resident experience and better positioning the assets within their respective competitive set.
This is a portfolio we ve been tracking for several years, and we re excited to have the opportunity to acquire it. Its long-term ownership and strong physical condition provide a rare foundation for both operational improvement and long-term value creation, said Bill Green, Co-CEO and Principal at Ginkgo Residential.
The Charleston MSA continues to exhibit strong housing fundamentals, bolstered by consistent population and job growth. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Charleston MSA added approximately 43 jobs per day from 2023 to 2024. Concurrently, U.S. Census Bureau data shows that the area welcomed an average of 50 new residents per day during the same period—further underscoring the demand for quality housing options. Apartment absorption in 2025 is expected to exceed new deliveries for the first time since 2021, a trend expected to continue as future supply additions moderate.
These communities have been very well maintained, and with our proven operating platform, we believe we can unlock significant additional value while continuing to serve the growing demand for quality housing in Charleston, said Kiel Bollero, Director of Acquisitions at Ginkgo Residential.
This acquisition follows Ginkgo s recent purchase of a 219-unit multifamily community in Wilmington, N.C., as the company continues to execute its value-add investment strategy across the Southeast.

MIAMI, FL – FCP acquired District West Gables, a 427-unit midrise apartment community in West Miami, FL. The acquisition marks FCP’s third investment in South Florida within the past nine months, underscoring the firm’s continued momentum and conviction in one of the nation’s most dynamic rental markets.
“Executing in today’s environment requires conviction and capital, and FCP is proud to continue expanding in South Florida with a high-quality core-plus asset in Miami-Dade,” said Bruce Gago, Senior Vice President at FCP and head of the company’s Florida investments. “Despite a challenging capital markets environment, we continue to deploy capital into markets where we see long-term fundamentals driving durable demand. Miami-Dade—and West Miami in particular—offers exceptional demographic and employment tailwinds that align with our investment strategy.”
FCP plans to implement a value-enhancement program focused on modernizing common areas and amenities while executing renovations on unit interiors. The company has engaged Greystar as property manager to support operational execution and leasing performance.
District West Gables provides residents with direct access to Miami’s key employment nodes, including the University of Miami, Florida International University, Miami International Airport, and Brickell/Downtown. The property is located less than three miles from Coral Gables’ vibrant downtown and Miracle Mile retail corridor.
Built in two phases (2015 and 2017), District West Gables comprises studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences in mid-rise structures with structured parking. The community features a robust amenity package, including two resort-style pools, dual fitness centers, EV charging stations, a movie theater, cabana-lined sun decks, and expansive resident lounges.
This transaction reinforces FCP’s ability to identify and close on high-conviction assets, even amid market volatility, and further establishes the firm’s footprint in Florida—a region where it continues to actively seek new opportunities across the risk spectrum.
FCP extends its appreciation to Hampton Beebe of Newmark for his representation of the seller and to Matt Williams, Daniel Matz, and Rob Wright of Newmark for their representation of FCP in securing financing.

The total development cost is estimated at $87.8 million. Construction is expected to be completed in 2027.

LAKE WORTH, FL – The Milestone Group announced the acquisition of the 206-unit Casa Brera at Toscana Isles apartment community in Lake Worth, FL. The purchase price was not disclosed.
“Casa Brera was acquired at roughly a 20% discount to replacement cost in the supply-constrained Lake Worth submarket of South Florida,” said David Giles, Vice President of Acquisitions at Milestone. “By assuming the existing financing, we were able to close quickly while offering surety of execution to the seller.
