SFHDC SUPPORTIVE SERVICES San Francisco Housing Development Corporation develops and manages affordable rental homes that offer supportive services to its tenants. These properties are occupied by very low income to formerly homeless families, as well as seniors and residents with HIV/AIDS, drug addictions, mental illnesses and physical disabilities. SFHDC’s properties with supportive services include the following developments: Bayview Commons residential supportive services include: case management, diversity awareness training, parenting classes, after-school tutorial sessions, housing maintenance, youth activities, arts and cultural field trips, financial planning, health education, life-skills coaching, medical services, employment, and therapy referrals - all of which are designed to impact the participants in a way that is “life changing.” SFHDC manages the City of San Francisco’s Alice Griffith Opportunity Center, which is located in the center of Alice Griffith Housing Project in Bayview Hunters Point. The Center is positioned as an effective, institutional community change agency established to focus on the needs of the residents of Alice Griffith Housing Project. The mission of the Center is to instill positive developmental change and community harm reduction within its targeted service area. We hope to accomplish the city’s mission through the full utilization of the facility, and by coordinating services to meet the needs of the community. Alice Griffith Opportunity Center offers a broad range of community programs, meeting space, classroom activities, community workshops, and training programs. These programs and services benefit an ethnically diverse population of seniors, parents, children, and youth who live within the 700+ unit housing development. Programs are offered free of charge, and focus on education, life-skills training, physical and metal health, employment assistance, after school tutorial, and special community events. In addition, the Center makes full use of the latest information technology. While the Center itself is an Internet “Hot Spot” for all wireless ready computers, it is wired to broadcast a powerful Internet signal to every household in the Alice Griffith community. This computer-based, informational technology benefits all residents at Alice Griffith, and will play a significant role in helping to make this community whole.
