Jubilo Village: Finally, new affordable housing in Culver City

Jubilo Village is a 93-unit affordable housing development set to be built at 4464 Sepulveda Blvd, where the Culver-Palms United Methodist Church currently stands. The church partnered with Community Corporation of Santa Monica, an affordable housing developer, to design and build this project. 

In response to public demands for more affordable housing, Culver City committed to provide partial funding for Jubilo Village.

Why? Here’s a few fast facts:

• It will be the first affordable housing built in Culver City in more than 10 years.

• Nearly a quarter of Culver City’s households are low income, and almost half spend more than 50% of their income on housing.

• All of Jubilo Village’s units will be reserved for low income households. It will include 2 and 3 bedroom units for families.

• Between 2016 and 2020, Culver City employers added more than 10,000 jobs, while the number of housing units decreased, leaving us with a shortage of housing for working people. 

• The state expects developers in Culver City to produce 1,712 units of low income housing. Developers have proposed a total of 4,194 units thus far -- but only 406 are designated for low income households – and Jubilo Village represents 93 of those.

• Culver City has 38 units of interim supportive housing at Project Homekey on Sepulveda and 18 units of temporary shelter for families at Upward Bound House. The goal of both facilities is to assist people with obtaining permanent housing – but there is no available permanent housing for them in Culver City.
