Senior Housing Conversion Begins on Haight Street

After years of preparation and negotiation, look for a groundbreaking ceremony in early-February at 1250 Haight Street (@ Central, across from Buena Vista Park) on 40 units of senior housing at the former Third Church of Christ Scientist.

From a December 18th article in the Examiner, "James Buckley, president of Citizens Housing Corp., which is building the project, said seniors will pay 30 percent of their incomes up to $40,000 a year. Jewish Family and Children Services will provide limited services."

The Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council also has an article in their January newsletter with more details.

The building should be ready for occupancy in March 2007.
