ANGEL HOUSING ALLIANCE

What ANGEL HOUSING ALLIANCE does

Our Lady Queen of Angels Housing Alliance (d/b/a Queen of Angels Housing) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit affordable housing developer founded in 2020 through a collaboration between the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, local philanthropic leaders, and community stakeholders. The organization develops and renovates housing affordable to low and moderate-income populations in Greater Los Angeles, explicitly serving former foster youth, community college students, seniors, low-income families, and essential workers who cannot afford market-rate rents.

The organization's sole named product is Willow Brook, a 74-unit, service-enriched affordable housing community located adjacent to Los Angeles City College at 4665 Willow Brook Avenue. Approximately 30% of units are prioritized for youth transitioning out of foster care, with the balance serving community college students, and the project includes on-site supportive services, roof decks, a courtyard, community room, and study lounges. The project is currently in development; no units have been completed or leased. Land for Willow Brook was dedicated by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in 2021, and the only disclosed funding to date consists of undisclosed seed grants from The Specialty Family Foundation and the John H. and Cynthia Lee Smet Foundation.

The business model is donation- and grant-driven rather than commercial: revenue streams comprise tax-deductible individual contributions solicited via the website and foundation grants, with no product pricing or commercial sales. Capital for development projects is expected to be assembled from a mix of donations, foundation grants, and conventional affordable housing financing sources that the organization states it is "actively exploring." Go-to-market is community-led, relying on partnerships with the Archdiocese, Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, the LA County Center for Strategic Partnerships, and Los Angeles City College to source sites, supportive services, and tenants. The organization is governed by a board chaired by Archbishop Jose Gomez and led operationally by Executive Director Amy Anderson, who has more than 30 years of affordable housing experience across government, philanthropy, and non-profit development.
