Program accomplishments

• AFFORDABLE HOUSINGArchways Santa Ana, completed in 2024, offers 85 affordable homes in Santa Ana, including units for extremely low-income households and permanent supportive housing. Three buildings surround interconnected paseos, courtyards, and a mini park, creating spaces that encourage connection and community. City Fabrick partnered with Community Development Partners on community engagement, schematic-level landscape, building, and graphic design, helping shape a development thats both functional and welcoming. With amenities like a community room, play areas, garden beds, and easy access to public transit, Archways Santa Ana demonstrates how thoughtful design supports residents well-being and long-term stability.Construction has wrapped up on the first phase of Community Develop?ment Partners adaptive reuse of a former Motel 6 property into over forty permanent supportive homes for formerly unsheltered residents in Costa Mesa. Soon after opening, california Governor Gavin Newsom toured the new community to showcase the success of the Homekey program, which is providing financial and regulatory support for similar hotel to permanent supportive homes conversions. The Governor shared his admiration to local officials, CDP, and partner Mercy House for the success of this development to transform a formerly blighting property into a community asset. The expanded design will continue repositioning the former auto-oriented motel into an integrated, supportive community for those most in need of affordable, dignified homes. The new outdoor spaces will include an outdoor living room and sun deck offering these residents unique experiences to enjoy and build social connections with their neighbors. Mesa Vista Phase 2 is scheduled to start construction at the beginning of 2025.

• GREAT PARKS AND PLACES ENVISION LONG BEACH PARKSCity Fabrick is collaborating with our community partners and the City of Long Beach to imagine the future of Scherer Park and Martin Luther King Jr. Park. In front of a crowd of community supporters the Long Beach City Council recently approved the Martin Luther King Jr. Park vision plan. With support from the Long Beach Alliance for Food and Fitness and Resource Legacy Fund we collaborated with residents and community partners to consider the current park conditions and imagine the future of the park to servecurrent and prospective users. Emerging from that community design process is the new Friends of King Park, who will be champions for the vision plans implementation and stewards for its sustained vibrancy. On the heels of the adoption of King Park Vision Plan the Long Beach City Council approved the second one for Scherer Park. We were fortunate tocollaborate with Long Beach Parks, Recreation, and Marine and the Boysand Girls Club of Long Beach to engage residents, partners, and park users how the park can evolve to continue serving the community and even improve the park user experience. The central tenant of reimagining the park was to utilize the large scale of the park and unique configuration to create unique park experiences. This includes creating hubs of activity while withdrawing activity to create passive natural spaces that host verdant landscapes, and dense tree canopies that collectively create a vibrant wildlife habitat amongst this largely built-out community.

• WEST LOS ANGELES VETERANS AFFAIRSAs the US Department of Veteran Affairs Master Plan continues to completion, City Fabrick has been guiding the Community Plans development of over 1,2000 supportive homes, collaborating with dozens of partners to define this action-oriented, inclusive vision. Partners, dignitaries, and residents gathered as Buildings 158 and 210 celebrated a ground-breaking ceremony. Century Housing is adaptively reusing Building 158 as permanent supportive homes to serve formerly homeless Veterans. USVETS are doing the same to Building 210, both within the North Village of the community plan. This marks the start of phase 2 for the development team, which includes the US Department of Veterans Affairs and Thomas Safran and Associates. City Fabrick led the community planning process and continued to support landscape, graphic, and urban design.

• TRANSFORMING SHORELINE DRIVEIn February 2023, Congressman Robert Garcia announced that the City of Long Beach had been awarded $30 million of federal transportation funds to support transforming Shoreline Drive into a multimodal boulevard while doubling the size of the adjacent Cesar Chavez Park. City Fabrick collaborated with the Congress for New Urbanism to develop the initial report that demonstrates the opportunities for reimagining the two-mile long freeway spur that separates Downtown Long Beach from the Los Angeles River and waterfront. This will be an absolutely transformative project for Long Beach, trading a car-oriented piece of concrete for people centered green space that is honestly needed in this community, Brian Ulaszewski said in the Longbeachize story. Later in the year, the City shared plans for the expanded project that includes replacing the Shoemaker Bridge will an elegant structure that will provide a grand gateway into the Downtown.

• MICRO-UNITS IN LONG BEACHWe continue collaborating with Burnham Development and their various partners on creating a multitude of innovative micro-unit developments in Downtown Long Beach as we collectively seek ways to meet the missing middle of housing affordability. We have submitted to the City of Long Beach for planning approvals of two new compact living communities in the North Pine and East Village neighborhoods in the Downtown. 711 Pine will have nearly fifty efficient one-bedroom units while 421 East 4th Street has nearly one hundred studios, both mixed-income consisting of market-rate and deed-restricted affordable homes. Both proposals have abundant common amenities and outdoor spaces, much of which is located on the top floors, providing residents incredible views of the Southland.
  Expenses $146,242
• COSTA MESA FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTSOver the past year our Landscape Design team has been collaborating with the City of Costa Mesa and Pat West, to engage community members and partners to develop visions for redesigning and expanding two neighborhood parks on the Westside of the city. Shalimar Park is a pocket park that is designed to spill out into the public right-of-way turning the adjacent streetscape into an engaging place for play. The design for Ketchum-Libolt Park will expand available green space by removing a large unused concrete pad and block wall.
  Expenses $94,441
• LADOT - COMMUNITIES FOR SAFER STREETCity Fabrick wrapped up a multi-year collaboration with the Los Angeles Departmentof Transportation to develop community-based visions for improving safety along nearly a dozen high-risk corridors across the city. Working with partners including LADOT, Dakota Communications, People for Mobility Justice, CCE Consulting Group, Sumire Gant Consulting, and local organizations, we used a range of engagement strategies to educate, listen, and co-create solutions that enhance safety,accessibility, and livability. City Fabrick led engagement activities, developed visualiza?tions of the streetscape, and supported planning and data analysis. We are grateful to all our partners and community members who shared their expertise and time to help shape these corridors.
