WOONSOCKET, R.I., April 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) has surpassed $200 million in affordable housing investments in California as part of an ongoing commitment to address housing insecurity throughout the country. Over the past years, the company and its subsidiaries have invested in over 130 affordable housing communities across California, facilitating the construction or rehabilitation of more than 12,500 affordable homes.
This milestone was achieved with CVS Health's recent closing of a $12.1 million investment to help finance LINC Housing's new development in Los Angeles County's Avocado Heights. Equa (named for LINC Housing's dedication to equality, as well as the neighborhood's equestrian history) will provide 80 homes for families with low incomes and individuals who have experienced homelessness. The development will feature a community room, computer room, private offices for supportive services staff, an after-school program room, and community kitchen. LINC Housing will provide a wide range of social and supportive services to help residents maintain housing stability.
