Shirley Chisholm Village closed financing on August 18, 2022! This project marks San Francisco's first affordable housing development to prioritize educators and district employees. This monumental step would not have been possible without the support of so many within the community! A big thank you to all of our partners, who include Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD), San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), and National Equity Fund (NEF). And thank you to the team, including BAR Architects and Cahill Contractors. Construction began on August 24, 2022 and we will periodically update the Shirley Chisholm Village website with future milestones. Cahill Contractors will be providing monthly newsletters via email. If you live in the neighborhood and are interested in receiving construction updates directly from Cahill, please email scv@midpen-housing.org with that request. We expect to welcome residents to their new homes in Fall 2024 and so we will provide more information on the leasing process as it becomes available. |
Playland at 43rd Avenue is an outdoor inclusive multi-use park where San Francisco residents can find opportunities for gardening, exercising, gathering with neighbors every day or at special events, and it includes a wide variety of play opportunities. The site, an under-utilized approximately 2-acre parking lot on San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) property, opened in 2016 after a year of community design, three-months of construction, and over 2,000 volunteer hours. The result has been an innovative, temporary community space that uses upcycled materials and design interventions meant to be easily reversible. Over the past 6 years, Playland has been well-loved and provided many community members with wonderful memories. Playland was created as a transitional use on a site slated for teacher housing. After 6 years of active use, Playland will be closing this Summer 2022. The planned 135-unit affordable housing development, named Shirley Chisholm Village (“SCV”), is expected to start construction in August 2022. In partnership with SFUSD and the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD), MidPen Housing and its team are developing SCV. The development will provide affordable housing to low- and moderate-income households and will prioritize SFUSD educators and district employees. SCV is expected to start construction in August 2022 and complete construction in Summer 2024. To celebrate 6 years of successful programs at Playland, the SF Planning Department will host a special event on Saturday, May 7th from 10am – 4pm at Playland. To commemorate Playland’s history, we will be having a call for entries for a time capsule. For more details on the call for entries for the time capsule, visit the event page. For future updates regarding Playland’s closure, please visit Playland’s website. MidPen is working closely with the SF Planning Department to determine the exact closure date for Playland and will share the date once available. |
