New Housing Complex Offers Positive Change For The Tenderloin

From KCBS.com,

Some two hundred people in San Francisco's Tenderloin District -- including some who were formerly homeless -- are living in a new lower-income housing complex, which celebrated its grand opening yesterday.

There are sixty-seven occupied apartments in the new Curran House, located in the 100 block of Taylor Street. The nine-story complex includes studios and one, two and three bedroom units with one, one and a half or two bathrooms each.

Curran House residents include people with disabilities, and individuals and families with relatively wide income disparities.

Rents range from $750 for a studio, to $1,150 for a three bedroom unit. At least ten units have been reserved for the homeless.

Curran House includes ample green space. Residents and visitors enter the large lobby through a "decompression garden," and the lobby leads to a separate courtyard with space for children to play. There's also a rooftop garden, as well as a conference room and ample common areas on the ground level.
