Prospective tenants now have the chance to apply to live at the affordable housing complex at 240 Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco’s Civic Center. Construction topped out earlier this year for the eight-story building, named The Kelsey Civic Center, with move-ins expected early next year. Applications will be accepted until October 16th.

According to Kelsey, the lottery will be the first to factor in Home and Community-Based Services waivers, a State-led program to help individuals with disabilities living at home or in non-medical facilities. The application period will close on October 16th at 5 PM.

The San Francisco project is a joint venture between Mercy Housing and The Kelsey. The Kelsey is a real estate non-profit specializing in creating affordable housing that is accessible to disabled residents and open to everyone. The organization writes that its goal is to create spaces for “disabled people and others with a wide range of needs and life experiences to live side by side in equally high-quality homes.”
Crews from Cahill are wrapping up work on the eight-story building at 240 Van Ness Avenue. WRNS Studio and Santos Prescott & Associates are responsible for designing the L-shaped structure, clad with vertical bands of textured fiber cement panels and vertical copper-anodized aluminum fins.
