Award Description: CDBG-R funds are provided to states and local governments for primarily economic development, housing, infrastructure and other public facilities activities that will quickly spur further economic investment, increased energy efficiency and job creation or retention.
Project Description: During this quarter, Prime Recipient identified two projects to be funded with CDBG-R funds. The Mission Bay Pump Station project is anticipated to employ approximately 140 people from construction trades and will help to keep engineers, architects, contractors and subcontractors employed (some of the hardest hit sectors of employment during the recession). The infrastructure being funded provides long term economic benefits by facilitating additional development activity, including the estimated $80.5 million construction of 150 units of affordable housing and the estimated $5.4 million development of 1.5 acres of parks and open space that serve these units. The adaptive reuse of the Central YMCA into 172 units of housing for chronically homeless individuals will include a state of the art Health Clinic for formerly homeless persons both from this project and other supportive housing in San Francisco, providing an extraordinary level of support and care for this vulnerable population, and thereby reducing the financial burden on other City and County services utilized by this high need population. This project will create approximately 230 construction jobs during a 25 month construction period. Additionally, the permanent operations and services for the building will generate 14.9 FTE permanent property management positions and 13.7 FTE permanent social services positions. As well, by enabling the existing childcare center to return post-construction, the project preserves an estimated 6 FTE positions. More jobs will be generated by the corner retail space once it is occupied.
