Larkin Place is a newly constructed permanent supportive housing development with 33 units located on a .55-acre vacant site in the City of Claremont. This redevelopment opportunity will transform an underutilized site previously owned by Pilgrim Place into 32 apartments (plus 1 manager’s unit) of permanent supportive housing that combines affordable housing with onsite services for low-income and formerly homeless individuals. Larkin Place will be Jamboree’s second community developed in Claremont. The four-story building features 8 studios, 24 one-bedroom units, and a two-bedroom manager’s unit. Targeted towards individuals earning 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI) in Los Angeles County, the development addresses the critical need for housing for those experiencing chronic homelessness.
The architectural design is a nod to mid-century modern aesthetics, emphasizing horizontal lines through canopies and material composition. Neutral earth-tone colors create a warm and inviting material palette, grounding the building and seamlessly tying into the architectural fabric of the neighborhood. Encompassing approximately 2,700 square feet, Larkin Place includes leasing and amenity spaces such as a multipurpose room with a community kitchen, along with private offices for property management, supportive services, and case management services. Outdoor amenities, including a BBQ area, outdoor deck, and a dog run, foster a sense of community and well-being.
Parking convenience is ensured with 11 surface parking spaces located at the rear of the site. Larkin Place represents a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to addressing the housing needs of the community while creating a welcoming and supportive living environment.
