A supportive housing development in San Francisco’s SoMa district broke ground last week, as part of a joint effort between Enterprise Community Partners, Mercy Housing California and the city and county of San Francisco. The 221-home property will be financed in part with a $53M equity investment by Fannie Mae and Enterprise under the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program.
Chase Bank is providing construction and permanent financing, with the San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development providing additional funding and support.
The property, dubbed 7th and Brannan, will serve as transitional housing for 120 people experiencing homelessness, as well as offering 100 homes for low-income families. The property will also contain 5K SF of retail, leased below market-rate for local businesses. Construction is slated to be complete by the summer of 2024.
“We’ve got to prioritize preventing low-income families from becoming homeless, or being priced out of San Francisco, just as much as supporting people who are experiencing homelessness,” MHC President Doug Shoemaker said in a press release. “This development gives us the unique opportunity to do both at once.”
