Derelict 18th St. building finally funded to be teacher homes

“This is a very audacious project for MEDA, and we’re excited to meet the needs of our families, teachers, and our city,” said Karoleen Feng.

The sites at 2205 Mission St. and 750 Golden Gate Ave. near Civic Center, the other awardee, were two of seven projects in the running for teacher housing. The project at 750 Golden Gate Ave. will convert a parking lot into 100-percent affordable housing. That project requires $20 million in city funding, and will result in 72 apartments for rent.

City leaders acknowledged that San Francisco’s affordability crisis has driven out essential workers, like educators and first responders. “Having our educators be a part of our community, instead of having to drive long distances makes our whole public education system stronger,” Mayor London Breed said in a press release. Superintendent Dr. Matt Wayne echoed the sentiment, noting housing is key to attracting teaching talent.

; it was formerly home to appliance and furniture stores during the heyday of the commercial district known as the Mission Mile in the 1950s, so MEDA likely will preserve the building’s existing facade. Previous plans note the developer will “reconstruct” the existing two-story building and build the new one.

The nonprofit and the school district will start collecting applications for those hoping to live on-site in the next few years. Educators will be able to move in by 2026, a condition of the city funding.
