Mary Helen Rogers Senior Community

701 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, California 94102

Chinatown CDC teamed up with community partners to develop the Mary Helen Rogers Senior Community at 701 Golden Gate Avenue at Franklin Street. Formerly home to a Central Freeway off-ramp, the site was serving as a parking lot at the time construction began. After completing construction in late 2012, the project now has 100 residential units for low and very-low income seniors, including 20 units set aside for homeless seniors under the Department of Public Health’s Direct Access to Housing Program.

The project honors the memory of Mary Helen Rogers, a long-time community activist and advocate for the Western Addition community, and the building will feature art tributes to Ms. Rogers and her legacy.

The project also features on-site services offices, a community café that will partly be programmed by the resident services team, a computer lab, offices, and a resident lobby. MHRSC forms a "senior campus" with its sister project, Parkview Terraces, at Turk and Gough. Resident programs like physical activities to help seniors remain active and fit are open to residents of each project. The café at MHRSC will host social activities, and there will be computer courses in the computer lab.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
