PATH Ventures’ housing models aim to end and prevent homelessness by integrating supportive services with permanent housing for people in need. This unique marriage of a supportive service provider and a housing developer ensures that services are delivered in the most efficient manner and that our mission is built into the very architecture of every unit we construct.
Welcome to PATH Ventures

On March 29th, Related Companies of California, PATH, PATH Ventures and City Council Member Eric Garcetti welcomed 48 local individuals who were low-income, homeless or living with HIV to new affordable, permanent housing at the recently-completed La Kretz Villas in Silver Lake. Located just one block from the renowned PATH Mall, La Kretz Villas residents will be able to continue receiving supportive services while transitioning into their new lives.
The property was donated by Morton La Kretz, a leading real estate investor and philanthropist, and is co-developed by Related California and PATH Ventures.
Many of the facility’s new residents were previously homeless on the streets of Silver Lake. In partnership with the nationwide 100,000 Homes Campaign, last year’s Silver Lake Connections vulnerability survey identified those living on the streets who were most vulnerable and in need of permanent housing.
Fourteen of the individuals deemed “most vulnerable” now have their own apartments in the La Kretz Villas. We are proud to finally be able to welcome them home!
