San Francisco opened 145-unit senior housing site in Mission District | The Locally Times
The 1633 Valencia facility provides supportive housing for seniors exiting homelessness, with referrals managed through two city programs.
The city opened a 145-unit supportive housing community at 1633 Valencia on June 2, 2026. ## Referral Process Two city-managed channels coordinate placements for the 1633 Valencia site. The Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing uses the Housing Ladder Program, a referral system for permanent supportive housing, and the Mission Action Access Point, a neighborhood-based intake center, to place residents into the units. ## Onsite Services The 1633 Valencia site includes a 1,500-square-foot supportive services center. The Felton Institute, a non-profit social services provider, manages case services for residents. The facility also contains a landscaped courtyard and indoor common areas. The site sits near the 24th Street Mission BART station and local bus lines. ## Neighborhood Infrastructure The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency manages street safety projects near the site. The agency currently installs quick-build safety projects, which use low-cost materials like paint and bollards to separate traffic, on the High Injury Network, a set of streets that account for 74% of serious traffic injuries. The agency has not announced a formal partnership with the 1633 Valencia site. These projects prioritize school routes and senior safety using stop signs and speed tables. ## Key Questions **How do seniors apply for housing at 1633 Valencia?** Residents gain access through the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing’s Housing Ladder Program or the Mission Action Access Point. **What services are provided to residents at the new site?** The 1633 Valencia development includes a 1,500-square-foot supportive services center where the Felton Institute provides case management.
