On July 2, 2025, Long Beach marked the start of construction of The 101, a 52-unit affordable housing development in South Wrigley. The announcement described permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of it.

What the city announced
The project is at 101 E. Pacific Coast Highway. The city said Jamboree Housing Corporation would develop the five-story building with 51 fully furnished one-bedroom units plus one manager's unit, shared outdoor space, laundry facilities, and offices for resident services and property staff. Its July 15, 2025 press release said the affordable homes were for individuals and households experiencing or at risk of homelessness with incomes at or below 30% of area median income (AMI). Those details describe the project at groundbreaking; they do not establish its current construction status.
The development combines housing with onsite case management and access to support resources. That is the practical distinction for readers following this project. It is not evidence that nearby rents, business activity, or property values will change.
How to follow the project
The city's July 2, 2025 project announcement and its July 15 press release document what was reported at groundbreaking. For current construction status, check with the City of Long Beach; these dated pages do not establish completion today. The Long Beach Post’s July 15, 2025 report provides additional reporting from the groundbreaking. Its late-2026 completion date was an expectation reported at that time, not a verified completion date.
