The second phase of PATH’s and Affirmed Housing’s PATH Metro Villas is currently under construction. Phase II includes the development of Buildings B and C, which will provide 122 units of affordable housing.  Building B will also be home to a 3,000 SF JWCH Institute (Wesley Health Centers) health clinic and a 1,500 SF Gateways mental health center, in addition to a new housing location and placement center, community-based employment center, and two floors of transitional housing. Building C will feature a community multi-purpose room, a classroom, an amphitheater, and a communal rooftop garden.

Phase 1 (Building A) and the two Phase 2 PATH Metro Villas buildings are organized around a half-acre town square with a large, flexible landscaped area for community gatherings, health fairs, staff events, and cookouts. Targeting a LEED Gold certification, the project is located at 320-340 Madison Avenue, and is well connected to transit, jobs, services, and amenities.

“After much anticipation, it’s exciting to see the first phase of the PATH Metro Villas campus, nearing completion,” said KFA Associate Jaime Olmos, AIA. “We are proud that our design supports PATH’s unique approach to providing permanent shelter to some of the most vulnerable of L.A.’s homeless.”

Developed by PATH Ventures in partnership with Affirmed Housing, the six-story, 54,740 SF first phase of PATH Metro Villas will add 65 residential units and supportive services for low-income, chronically homeless individuals and veterans living in Los Angeles. It will house PATH’s Veterans Connection Center, large spaces for clinical services, case management offices, a community room with a teaching kitchen, three landscaped and furnished rooftop decks, bicycle storage space, and laundry facilities.
