Building The Marvel
MEDA + Mission Housing: Community Developers, stronger together
“We, as MEDA and Mission Housing, are honored to be the chosen primary developers of the 1979 Mission Street site that is expected to provide hundreds of low-income families and formerly unhoused with a new home.
Sitting vacant for years on the northwest corner of 16th and Mission Streets, this site will be one of the largest 100% affordable housing projects in San Francisco.
Working together for the first time on such an extensive development project shows the incredible impact of community advocacy.
We are immensely proud of and grateful for members of our Mission community and our respective staffs who fought for years to make this development selection happen.
As our two development teams work hand-in-hand, the 1979 Mission Street site will now represent an incredible victory in the fight against further displacement in our beloved neighborhood.
Community: you slayed the monster! Now it’s our turn to bring the Marvel to life. Thank you for entrusting us to do so.”
Community Celebration: Let’s build the Marvel!
On May 9, 2024, we reunited wiith community and Plaza 16 to celebrate the next step in our effort to build the Marvel.
