Having achieved the US Green Building Council's LEED Silver rating, the project serves as a model for future supportive, services-enriched housing while setting a new standard for affordable housing.
Supportive housing for formerly homeless individuals located in the heart of SanFrancisco's evolving Sixth Street redevelopment area.
This environmentally responsible, mixed-use development provides 106 new affordable mini-studio apartments, comprehensive support services, residential amenities, commercial space and a community theater.
