Kelsey Civic Center
The Kelsey Civic Center will be a vibrant urban community offering 112 homes for San Franciscans of all abilities, incomes, and backgrounds. The project proposes a model for disability-forward housing that opens doors to affordable homes and opportunities for everyone. This fully accessible building will house in the ground-level a commercial space that will serve as the future home of the Disability Community Cultural Center. The project also includes communal spaces for resident programming, community events, service delivery, and relaxing. Efficient units, shared amenities, and communal spaces reduce waste, support low carbon design, and foster connection and community impact.Learn more about the winning project here!
