SF will receive a $7M grant to convert a 25-room hotel into permanent housing for young people aging out of the foster care system as well as residents at risk of homelessness who make 30% of the city’s Area Median Income, which was $119K as of 2020.
The Hotel Diva, a seven story, 130-room former boutique hotel in the Tenderloin District, is being used to house the homeless during the pandemic as part of a state and federal effort. Oakland and San Francisco have been awarded a combined $22 million in state grants to convert hotels in each city into permanent housing for homeless residents, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said Wednesday.
Once completed, the complex will serve as permanent housing for chronically homeless residents and will offer counseling and other social services. Like the Piedmont Place project, the complex in San Francisco will include supportive social services for its residents. The state has awarded more than $1.3 billion in Homekey grant funding across the state since launching the program. Those funds have supported the creation of nearly 8,000 housing units, according to state officials, including hundreds in the Bay Area.
