Since 1995, SFHDC's project management team has successfully developed hundreds of affordable homes in San Francisco valued at over $64 million.  These homes were exclusively made available to the low-and moderate-income families. Our vision is to build new mix-income developments, both residential and commercial properties, in local urban centers such as the Bayview Hunters Point, Western Addition, and Visitation Valley to help transform these areas into vital, thriving, and self-sustaining urban centers populated by ethnically diverse families.
