Star View Court, to be built between Ninth Street and Avenue B, will offer 138 new homes for previously unhoused residents living in interim supportive housing, low-income families and legacy households living on the island. Amenities will include a courtyard, community room, parking and on-site property management.
The project is a part of a larger Treasure Island Redevelopment Plan, passed by the city's board of supervisors in 2011. The goal is to build up more hotel rooms and shops, 290 acres of public open space and 8,000 new homes, 27 percent to be affordable. "As we do that work it's essential that we have affordable places for people to live that also provide housing for the existing residents of this community," Breed said in a statement."I want to thank the community for their support of this project, as well as our state partners who are providing critical financial support for this project and others throughout San Francisco.
Lead developer Mercy Housing collaborated with Catholic Charities, One Treasure Island, Treasure Island Development Authority and Treasure Island Community Development to bring the project to fruition.
