WESTLAKE : Apartment Complex for 1-Parent Families Opens

A 110-unit apartment complex for poor, one-parent families opened Monday in the Westlake area of Los Angeles.

The $18-million project, with an on-site child-care center and 24-hour security is designed for single heads of households, the majority of them women, said a representative for New Economics for Women, the building’s nonprofit developer.

Tenants, who are to move in next month, will pay from $80 to $450 a month for studios to four-bedroom apartments.
