These funds, along with significant City matching funds, will support the rehabilitation and operation of 835 Turk Street as Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) for formerly homeless adults with behavioral health challenges.

  • Total Homekey+ Grant: $17,291,506 (Awarded October 13, 2025, Contract No. 25-HK+-18766).

    • $13,729,907 will be disbursed to the City for rehabilitation ($12,729,907) and tenant relocation costs ($1,000,000).
    • $3,561,599 will be disbursed directly to 835 Turk LLC (an affiliate of Five Keys Schools and Programs) for initial operating costs for 53 Homekey+ assisted units.
  • City Matching Funds: The City commits approximately $16,270,093 in required matching funds for rehabilitation and a minimum of five years of operating subsidies. This includes funds from the Our City, Our Home Fund (Prop C) and 2020 Health & Recovery General Obligation Bond Funds. Additionally, the City has committed up to 15 years of operating subsidies through its Local Operating Subsidy Program (LOSP).

  • Total Project Cost: The overall cost for acquisition and rehabilitation of the property is approximately $56.1 million, with a City subsidy of $400,012 per residential unit.

  • Location: 835 Turk Street, San Francisco (Assessor Parcel Block No. 0761, Lot No. 016A).

  • Relocation: Approximately 82 tenants will be permanently relocated to other PSH units within HSH’s portfolio, while 14 existing tenants will have the right to return to the property after rehabilitation and will receive financial assistance.

This project will significantly expand permanent supportive housing options in San Francisco, providing 106 renovated units for formerly homeless adults with behavioral health needs. Residents will benefit from critical seismic safety upgrades, accessible units, and comprehensive on-site supportive services, fostering stability and well-being. The City's substantial financial commitment, alongside state grants, ensures the long-term affordability and sustainability of this vital housing resource for 55 years.
