Mercy Housing California in partnership with the San Francisco Housing Accelerator Fund (SFHAF) requests permanent financing in the amount of up to $41,036,048 (including a $2M AHP bridge loan) as well as funding through the Local Operating Subsidy Program (LOSP) in the amount of $80,785,406 over an 18-year LOSP term to support program operations and to service the $16M SFHAF Innovation loan to create permanent supportive housing at 1633 Valencia.  The proposed development will create 145 newly constructed studio units, plus one staff unit, for a total of 146 units, to be made available as permanent supportive housing for seniors ages 55 and above experiencing homelessness (Project).  The Project is being proposed as further iteration of the Tahanan (833 Bryant) permanent supportive housing project, utilizing the same floorplate and efficient design (though not using modular construction) as well as other cost-saving and time-saving measures and similarly deferring City investment until the operations phase and conversion to permanent financing.  This innovative approach diversifies the housing production models to bring on line 145 PSH units more quickly and cost effectively without an initial City capital investment.

The project was acquired in January 2022 and rehabilitation on 9 of the 16 units has been completed.

Chinatown Community Development Center (CCDC) is seeking modifications to the City's existing loans for two multifamily, rental housing developments: the St. Claire Residence and the Clayton Hotel. These modifications involve consolidating multiple loans, including accrued interest, into single, residual receipts loans with an adjusted interest rate from 6% to 3% simple. Additionally, the proposed changes involve extending the loan terms by 55 year to 2079, making existing deferred loans subject to repayment from cash flow and assigning all loans to new, affiliated ownership entities. These adjustments are being made to facilitate CCDC's upcoming rehabilitation of these properties through new loans from the State of California.
