El Monte Veteran’s Village is the San Gabriel Valley’s first supportive housing community focusing exclusively on Veterans. TCA utilized the HighDEF product to reach the ideal density and provide a design program compatible with the client’s goals. The project came with an allocation of vouchers that provided financial assistance for housing costs and support services through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Through a redevelopment-funded City of Industry allocation, Los Angeles County committed over $2 million in gap funding to the project, in addition to the project based vouchers. The project combines an array of sustainable technologies across the board and exceeds California’s Title 24 Energy requirements by over 24%. In addition to the sustainable features of the building, the property includes an edible garden, fruit tree orchards and on on-site composting facility to process yard waste. El Monte Veterans Village is a GreenPoint Rated project.
