Boosting Affordable Housing Development in Compton

KeyBank Community Development Lending and Investment (CDLI) has recently provided a significant financial boost to Compton, California, by issuing a $25.9 million loan for the construction of a 75-unit affordable housing project. This initiative, known as 1434 W. Compton Blvd LP, marks a pivotal development in the partnership between the Coalition for Responsible Community Development (CRCD) and the LandSpire Group, LLC.

A Vision for Affordable Living

The newly approved affordable housing project aims to create a three-story building with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, all financed to support residents earning below 50% of the area’s median income (AMI). Half of the units are designated for permanent supportive housing, while the other half serves as general affordable housing.

Strategic Partnerships Fueling Growth

In addition to KeyBank’s contribution, Walker & Dunlop is providing additional LIHTC equity and Freddie Mac TEL permanent financing. This project exemplifies the collaborative efforts within the community to expand housing opportunities.
