San Francisco Unified School District has launched its first affordable housing project, Shirley Chisholm Village, with 135 units in the Sunset District. This initiative, stemming from extensive planning and educator input, aims to provide affordable housing for district employees, with rents adjusted for local median income levels. Developed by MidPen Housing, the apartments set a precedent for other urban school districts to develop land for housing solutions. Innovative design acknowledges teachers' preferences, including spaces for work-from-home needs, exemplifying a new approach to public service and urban housing challenges.
"One of the main things that came out of those workshops was the desire to have a space to work when they came home, but not to work from their apartment."
"The units, set aside for residents who earn between 30% and 100% of the area's median income, range from studios up to three-bedroom apartments."
