We had an incredible time celebrating the opening of The Kelsey Civic Center with residents, partners, and city leaders in San Francisco.
The Kelsey and Mercy Housing California proudly announce the opening of The Kelsey Civic Center, a deeply affordable, accessible, and inclusive community in the heart of San Francisco. The community was celebrated this week alongside Mayor Daniel Lurie, Supervisor Bilal Mahmood, residents, and community partners.
At the National Council of State Housing Agencies Annual Conference, we presented on disability-forward housing and the role the Inclusive Design Standards have in advancing more equitable housing for people with and without disabilities.
We’re proud to share the full agenda for the Disability-Forward Housing Futures Summit. The summit will bring together thought leaders, community advocates, designers, and housing professionals committed to building a future where disabled people and all people can access quality housing and community. Join us for an exciting day of conversation and collaboration.
