Facade on Armstrong St. with ground floor services office and garages; Armstrong Place Senior Housing is located in San Francisco’s Bayview District, along the Third Street light rail line, just a block from the light rail stop. The complex provides 116 affordable apartments for seniors, seventy one of which are HUD subsidized. Adjacent to affordable for-sale housing in the Armstrong Townhomes, the property’s amenities include 9,000 square feet of commercial space, community services and retail shops (7,500 sf). The property surrounds a courtyard rain garden and has several communal spaces. Twenty-three of the apartments are set aside for formerly homeless seniors participating in San Francisco’s Direct Access to Housing Program. These residents are eligible for intensive social services which will enable them to transition in to independent living.
