Affordable Housing

“It began with housing…”

Esperanza Community Housing emerged in 1989 from a victorious grassroots campaign to protect residents from eviction in South Central Los Angeles.

Founded upon the principle that we can disrupt the growing cycle of poverty and displacement threatening to uproot families from their homes, our affordable housing developments and advocacy efforts have stood as the last line of defense against gentrification in our community.

Today, we remain committed to preserving safe, quality multi-bedroom housing for families with direct links to essential social services. We own and operate nine affordable housing developments with a total of 165 units that are home to 420 low-income community members. 

For housing applications, please reach out to the property management team. Detailed information for each location can be found below.
