In May, WISEPlace had its grand opening of WISEPlace on Broadway, the first permanent supportive housing (PSH) community in our nearly 100-year history. At the grand opening, there were more than 200 partners and supporters who joined in on the celebration. The celebration was even featured on KTLA 5 News. The historic renovation and modern expansion provides vital support services and permanent affordable housing for 47 residents plus a unit for the onsite site property manager totaling 48 housing units. The spaces include the service areas, wellness and fitness rooms, and outdoor courtyard with community gardens and room for domestic pets.
WISEPlace is an organization that provides the community with safe shelter, counseling and mental health services, case management and addiction recovery, and employment assistance to help rebuild lives. It is the only Orange County-based nonprofit leading the effort to end homelessness for unaccompanied individuals.
Wright Ford Young & Co. has been in support of WISEPlace and its efforts in multiple ways at multiple events to help aid our community. Our Director of Business Development, Byron Culp, is a board member at WISEPlace and has made tremendous strides with this organization.
“WISEPlace on Broadway is so much more than a building – it is a community where lives will be transformed. This new permanent supportive housing development will not only provide a roof over someone’s head, but also offer the resources and support needed to rebuild lives and create lasting change,” said Brateil Aghasi, CEO of WISEPlace. “So thankful to all of our corporate supporters- like Wright Ford Young and Board member Byron Culp who has successfully served his first 3-year term on the Board of Directors.”
