科维纳长者公寓动工：60套住房含15套视障友好单元 州政府投入逾1.37亿美元
位于洛杉矶县科维纳市北第二大道233号的一处长者公寓项目近日动工。加州总务局（DGS）10月14日发布的通报显示，项目为六层建筑、共60套住房，服务62岁以上长者，其中15套为盲人及低视力居民专门设计。
资金方面，加州住房与社区发展厅（HCD）通过联邦社区发展整笔拨款灾后恢复计划（CDBG-DR）投入近3680万美元，并通过多户住房「超级NOFA」融资计划提供1.01亿美元，其中1480万美元来自面向洛杉矶地区灾后恢复的专项资金。项目由Laing Companies与Community HousingWorks开发。
该项目是州长行政令N-06-19框架的一部分：加州正盘点利用不足的州有土地，将其转为经济适用住房。总务局局长贾森·肯尼（Jason Kenney）表示，州政府以身作则、利用自有资产应对住房危机。HCD局长古斯塔沃·贝拉斯克斯（Gustavo Velasquez）说，该项目体现了州政府与地方伙伴及开发商合作、把闲置土地变成居民家园的做法。
Ground Broken on 60-Unit Senior Apartments in Covina Backed by More Than $137 Million in State Funds
Construction has begun on a senior apartment community at 233 N. 2nd Avenue in Covina, Los Angeles County. According to an October 14 announcement from the California Department of General Services (DGS), the six-story project will provide 60 homes for residents 62 and older, including 15 homes designed specifically for residents who are blind or have low vision.
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is investing nearly $36.8 million through the federal CDBG-DR program and $101 million through its Multifamily Housing Super NOFA — including $14.8 million from a set-aside for Los Angeles-area disaster recovery. The developers are Laing Companies and Community HousingWorks.
The project is part of the framework created by the governor's Executive Order N-06-19, which directs the state to convert underused state-owned land into affordable housing. DGS Director Jason Kenney said the state is leading by example with its own assets, and HCD Director Gustavo Velasquez said the project shows what happens when the state works with local partners and developers to turn unused land into homes.
