Casa Adelante - 1515 South Van Ness' affordable homes will not be listed on the DAHLIA website (housing.sfgov.org) for leasing lottery until between 3 to 4 months before building completion (estimated Spring 2027). If you would like to apply to live at Casa Adelante - 1515 South Van Ness, or other City Affordable Housing, please visit the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development's DAHLIA San Francisco Housing Portal.
Casa Adelante roughly translates from Spanish to English as "Home Forward" and represents a mission to develop stable housing in the Mission District.
42 of the 168 homes will be reserved as supportive housing for families exiting homelessness. Referrals for families experiencing homelessness are handled by Family Coordinated Entry Access Points, through the City's Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing.

Yes. MEDA and CCDC are working with Wu Yee Children's Services to develop a neighborhood-serving child care center; and a separate community-serving non-profit space, Nuevo Sol Day Laborer and Domestic Worker Center, which will provide worker organizing and training. More information will be posted online as construction continues.
The project is will provide, at a minimum, a community room and courtyard to accommodate a variety of programs for the residents, including Resident Services staffing for families and PLUS Housing households and intensive case-management for formerly homeless residents.
MOHCD allows developers of affordable housing to earn a flat (capped) fee for project management. These fees for the development of affordable housing are regulated by the State of California, and MOHCD further restricts the fees that developers may earn per the MOHCD Developer Fee Policy (publicly available online).
The cash-out developer fee for this project is anticipated to be approximately $3 million and will be split evenly between the Sponsors. $1.1 million of this fee is earned by the Sponsors for project management of 1515 S. Van Ness and will be paid as development milestones are achieved. The remainder of the fee is considered “at risk” and is only payable to the Sponsors upon successful completion and lease-up of the project. In the case of 1515 S. Van Ness, both project Sponsors are non-profits and must use any developer fees for 501(c)(3) eligible activities in order to maintain their tax-exempt status.
Both MEDA and CCDC have housing counselors that can assist those interested in applying. See below for contact info:

Drop-in hours: Mondays from 2:00-4:00pm, Thursdays from 10:30am-12:30pm
All family units will be leased through a public lottery administered by the City. Plus Housing unit applicants will be referred by MOHCD, and the LOSP-funded units for formerly homeless households will be referred by the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH) via the Coordinated Entry System based on need and program fit.
The project will implement the following MOHCD’s Lottery Preference Programs:
Lottery Process: Pre-Applications are collected through the City and County of San Francisco's Mayor's Office of Housing's Database of Affordable Housing Listings, Information, and Applications (DAHLIA) system. All applicants who submit complete pre-applications are included in a public electronic lottery. The electronic lottery results are then filtered by any city-sponsored housing or project-specific preferences and the final results of the filtered lottery is used to fill vacant units, in lottery rank order.
Qualification Process: Income eligibility consists of Management's review of income-related documents provided by applicant(s) and documents obtained via Management's 3rd Party Verification. Applicants complete a packet of required forms documenting sources and amounts of current and anticipated income, provide copies of documents (paystubs, taxes, bank statements, award letters, etc.) to support the sources and amounts of current and anticipated income, and a release for Management to verify the sources and amounts of current and anticipated income. After Management's review of documents provide by applicants and 3rd Party Verifications, a calculation test is performed to determine if the household income meets the income restrictions of the property or unit.
Waitlist Management: After applicants are processed in lottery rank order for vacant units, a remaining quantity, of usually 500, will become the property's waiting list (in lottery rank order) to fill future vacancies. Management will usually reach out to each of the applicants on the waiting list at least once per year to ensure continued interest in the property and the most up-to-date information (contact and income related) is known for selection of future vacancies.
Determining an income mix for an affordable housing development is a complex process. Affordable housing developers must present a unit and income mix that is eligible for State financing and addresses the affordable housing needs for the community, all while ensuring that the property’s rental income can pay for operations expenses (property staff, utilities, insurance, etc.) for 20+ years.
This building will be 9-stories tall.
The project will produce 168 units. The project team and the City’s goal is to provide affordable homes to as many families as possible while maintaining a cost-effective project. There is a continued need for affordable housing in the Mission District, and our project team will work with the City and the community to ensure that our project addresses this need.
Parking will not be available at 1515 South Van Ness. Fortunately, 1515 South Van Ness is in a transit rich area and scores 99/100 on Walk Score, with , meaning daily errands for residents in this area do not require a car. The project also has access to nearby bike networks. Additionally, the project team will work with the City to identify potential on-street car-share programs that would be suitable for the project location.
The current design of the project includes a secure bicycle parking room within the building that meets or exceeds the number of spaces required by the San Francisco Planning Department.
