The Steps on St Andrews will be a 20-unit affordable and supportive housing development. Steps will consist of a renovated house and a new three-story wing in the back, connected via a community room and rooftop deck where residents will be able to congregate. The existing house will hold eight units, while the new wing will hold 12 units. There will be a large front yard overlooked by an expansive front porch. Holos will plant citrus trees in the front and back yards. Additional features will include an interior courtyard, a greywater system, a laundry room, bike storage, and a service office.
The Steps on St. Andrews’ location was chosen for its proximity to public transportation*, allowing Holos Communities to reduce the amount of parking required. As a result, St. Andrews will have zero operating carbon emissions* associated with vehicles; the removal of the concrete podium also lowers cost and embodied carbon emissions associated with construction of the project.
Please note that images and pictures are initial concepts and will be developed further as the project progresses.

Steps will be in the heart of central Los Angeles’ dense network of high-frequency bus lines, with frequent bus service on Venice Blvd (Metro Local 33 and Metro Rapid 733) as well as Western Ave (Metro Local 207 and Metro Rapid 707) each just a 5-minute walk from the site. The neighborhood is less than 30 minutes to Koreatown by public transit.
Pio Pico Middle School is a half-mile from Steps and serves the local area. Additional community spots near Steps include the Washington Irving Branch Library a 10-minute bus ride from the site, and a Food 4 Less a 3-minute walk from the apartments.
