"Over one hundred new, highly efficient 300-square-foot studio apartments provide permanent affordable housing with on-site mental and physical health services for chronically homeless people, replacing a sub-standard SRO hotel in a blighted San Francisco neighborhood. The jury noted: the architects created an extraordinary project with a limited budget. This colorful and dignified building gives hope to residents and provides an anchor in a challenging neighborhood."
