DR. RAYE RICHARDSON APARTMENTS

Project Description

CHP's largest housing development will be built in Hayes Valley, on a site formerly occupied by the Central Freeway. Dr. Raye Richardson Apartments will become home to 120 formerly homeless individuals, and will include space for a social-venture business that provides employment training and jobs to building tenants. We are partnering with Mercy Housing California to develop this project, and when complete, Community Housing Partnership will be the owner and operator of the building.
