New housing doesn’t just create homes for our families, it brings in revenue that helps keep San Francisco’s neighborhoods beautiful, safe, and vibrant.

Most new housing in SF is built on vacant or underused sites, helping to keep our commercial streets active and thriving.

Located steps from Ocean Beach & Golden Gate Park, Shirley Chisholm Village shows what’s possible when we invest in our educators and working families. Together, we’re building a future where all San Franciscans can live and thrive.
