Funded by the city's Our City, Our Home Fund and the state's Homekey program, the City Gardens complex offers permanent supportive housing with on-site services, including education, job training, and health care, CBS News Bay Area reports.
On-site social services will be provided by the nonprofit organization Abode Services, ensuring residents receive not just affordable housing but long-term support as well.
On-site social services, including case management and mental health counseling, will be provided by the nonprofit organization Abode Services. Other amenities at the building include community space, resident lounges on each floor, a rooftop terrace, offices, and a bike repair shop.
