“Jazzie Collins Apartments provides 96 units of affordable supportive housing for individuals who have experienced homelessness. It’s a great project for the community and the city, and provides jobs for our building trades members who are out of work because of the pandemic.”
—Larry Mazzola Jr., UA Local 38 Business Manager and President,
San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (HIT) is helping to finance the $52.5 million construction of Jazzie Collins Apartments. Located in San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood, the project will create 96 efficiency apartments and supportive services for previously homeless and extremely low-income residents.
HIT ROLE
As part of its recently-announced $1 Billion “Bay Area Investment Initiative”, the HIT will invest $19.1 million in the new construction of Jazzie Collins Apartments, seeking to generate a competitive return for investors while creating union construction jobs and affordable housing. In this Initiative, the HIT is prepared to invest $500 million in multifamily housing projects in the Bay Area over the next five years and expects to leverage an additional $500 million from other sources. This project will be the HIT’s twelfth project in San Francisco, marking over $350 million in multifamily project commitments to date since 1984.
SOCIAL IMPACT
Jazzie Collins Apartments is designed to address acute homelessness in San Francisco: 35 units will be reserved for previously homeless residents of the adjacent Civic Center Hotel (an historic Single Room
occupancy facility included in the area redevelopment plan); and, 61 units will be assigned to extremely low-income tenants by the City and County of San Francisco’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing.
