S.F. to fund two affordable housing sites for survivors of gender-based violence

"Mayor Daniel Lurie today will award $29.5 million in funding to create 125 beds within 59 units reserved for individuals and families escaping domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. The $29.5 million in funding came from Proposition A, a ballot measure passed by voters in March 2024 to build more affordable housing in San Francisco using $300 million in bonds."

"The 125 beds are split between two projects - one in the Mission District at 80 Julian Ave. and the other in Hayes Valley at 101 Gough St. The two projects were selected out of four proposals that were submitted to the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development between June 17 and July 17, 2025 in response to a request for information looking for "innovative, cost effective proposals to deliver safe, stable housing for low-income San Franciscans, including survivors of domestic violence.""

"The 101 Gough St. project will be converted from a four-story residential care facility into a transitional housing project, offering 23 private units with a total of 53 beds, according to the Mayor's Office. Each unit will have individual bathrooms and cooking amenities. The project is part of the San Francisco Safehouse, a nonprofit organization providing transitional housing and support services for women who are experiencing homelessness."

San Francisco will invest $29.5 million from Proposition A to create 125 beds across 59 units reserved for individuals and families fleeing domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2026 and conclude by late 2027. The capacity is split between two projects at 80 Julian Ave. in the Mission District and 101 Gough St. in Hayes Valley. The projects were chosen from four proposals submitted between June 17 and July 17, 2025 in response to a request for innovative, cost-effective proposals to house low-income residents, including survivors. The 101 Gough conversion will provide 23 private units with 53 beds and in-unit bathrooms and cooking amenities, operated by San Francisco Safehouse.
