"You cannot see the above depicted 68 tiny-home complex called Mission Cabins at 16th and Mission streets, because it is behind huge black gates. But it has been there since it opened in April 2024, and did not come without a fight from the neighborhood, as Capp Street residents felt like they'd already dealt with plenty enough blight near Marshall Elementary School."
"Now a year and a half later, the 68 tiny cabins of Mission Cabins are all closing permanently. This was the plan all along, the facility was always slated to be razed for a 450-unit affordable housing project, that after years of wrangling, is slated to break ground at the former Monster in the Mission condo site. The affordable housing project is also intended to serve families, seniors, and the formerly homeless."
"But as Mission Cabins wraps up its interim stay, the reviews have been pretty good. Particularly from a tenant named Antrinette Jenkins who was plucked from the streets and awarded a temporary home there. Five minutes later, I'm inside of this place here out of the cold, out of the water, Jenkins told Mission Local. All I had was two blankets and a couple bags. But now it looks like a one-bedroom apartment."
Sixty-eight tiny homes called Mission Cabins occupied a lot behind the former Walgreens at 16th and Mission since April 2024. The site faced neighborhood opposition from Capp Street residents concerned about blight near Marshall Elementary School. The cabins were always intended as an interim facility and are now closing permanently to clear the site for a 450-unit affordable housing development at the former Monster in the Mission condo site. The new project is planned to house families, seniors, and people exiting homelessness. Tenants and neighbors reported mixed impressions, with gratitude for shelter and added security alongside complaints about strict rules.
