West Hollywood, California (August 18, 2022) – Non-profit West Hollywood Community Housing Corporation (WHCHC) announced today that multiple award-winning actress and current Emmy-nominee, Patricia Arquette, will be honored with the Advocate of the Year Award at their 35th Anniversary Gala. WHCHC will be celebrating 35 years of building affordable homes and providing critical supportive services on Wednesday, September 14th, at the Lot at Formosa in West Hollywood.
Patricia’s accolades are glittered with Academy, Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG, Emmy and Independent Spirit awards. More than just a talented performer, she is also a fighter for causes that most people shy away from.
“Patricia Arquette doesn’t miss an opportunity to use her platform, including some of the most viewed stages in the world, to speak up for people experiencing homelessness, for transgender individuals, for gender equality and more,” said Jesse Slansky, WHCHC President & CEO.
“I first and foremost want to thank the boots on the ground—the employees and volunteers of WHCHC—for all you are doing every day,” said Patricia. “I’m humbled and honored to receive this award. Respect, compassion and dignity can change people’s lives.”
Patricia has a unique connection to WHCHC. Her sister, Alexis, was a resident of a WHCHC-developed apartment community. A passionate advocate for affordable housing, Patricia laments, “So many millions of Americans are one emergency away from homelessness.”
WHCHC has been creating high-quality, award-winning affordable housing since 1986. Today WHCHC houses over 1,185 residents in 702 units in 20 affordable apartment communities in three cities. Six properties are in development.
With generous sponsors including, Hulu Originals, WHCHC’s gala, “Welcome Home,” will celebrate 35 years of creating high-quality affordable housing on Wednesday, September 14th, at the Lot at Formosa in West Hollywood.
