Shared Housing For Women On East 69th Street
This is what coming home can feel like. 246 East 69th Street is the Wellness Housing women's house, a clean and quiet shared house in the Florence neighborhood of South Los Angeles, about a tenth of a mile from the Metro bus on San Pedro Street. A bunk bed is $650 a month and a single bed in a shared room is $750, utilities included. No credit check.
Shared Transitional Housing in Los Angeles
246 East 69th Street is one of three Wellness Housing houses in South Los Angeles, and it is the one that takes women. Every room in it is shared and every bed is rented to one adult. A bunk bed is $650 a month and a single bed in a shared room is $750 a month, and both prices include the utilities. There is no credit check, no security deposit and no lease to sign.
The house sits in the Florence neighborhood, in the 90003 ZIP code, inside Los Angeles City Council District 9. Day to day that means most of what a new resident needs is close enough to reach without a car. Metro bus line 10/48 stops on San Pedro Street at 67th Street about a tenth of a mile away, and Metro bus line 111 stops on Florence Avenue at San Pedro Street about two tenths of a mile away. The St Johns Community Health Avalon Health and Access Center on Avalon Boulevard is about three tenths of a mile away and the UMMA Health Fremont Wellness Center is about seven tenths of a mile away, so a clinic appointment is a walk rather than a journey.
Rail is the exception and it is worth knowing before you move in. The nearest Metro rail is the A Line at Florence Station on Graham Avenue, about 1.6 miles east of the house. That is a bus ride, not a walk, and anyone planning a daily commute on the A Line should plan for the connection rather than assume the station is close. The Harbor Freeway I-110 is about six tenths of a mile west if you drive or get a ride.
For the people who pay their rent through the county, the DPSS Florence office at 1740 East Gage Avenue is about 1.7 miles from the house, and Wellness Housing accepts General Relief through DPSS as well as the DPSS Pilot Program, the START Program and other third party rent assistance. The house is in the LAPD Newton Division, whose community police station is on South Central Avenue. The Google Business Profile for this address lists a wheelchair accessible entrance.
The way in is a phone call and a tour. Call, or apply online in about two minutes. Call 562-716-4568, say what you are looking for, and come and walk through the house before you agree to anything.
