The Villa Gardenias Senior Apartments will have 105-one bedroom and 19 two-bedroom units. In addition, there will be two apartment buildings at Olympic Boulevard and Ditman Avenue.

HOME investment Partnerships Program will provide $5 million and the Community Development Block Grant will provide $200,000 and an additional $500,000 for construction and finances.
