San Francisco

New Life for Landmark Public Housing

Tour

Originally built in the 1950s to serve San Francisco’s Asian American community, the Ping Yuen public housing development fell into disrepair and faced both physical and social challenges. In 2014, when the city decided to use the federal Rental Assistance Demonstration program to reinvigorate its public housing, the buildings were transferred to the Chinatown Community Development Center (CCDC) for renovations, long-term operations and ownership. Join us for a tour of the development and see some of the improvements currently underway. Generously sponsored by Kaiser Permanente.
