We are still energized coming off HomeRise’s Grand Re-Opening celebration at the San Cristina site in San Francisco last week! The San Cristina underwent an extensive rehab focused on upgrading its structural and seismic stability, enhancing energy efficiency, and making the space better suited for HomeRise residents with modernized upgrades to the living and community spaces. We are proud to have partnered with such amazing organizations to bring this historic 1913 building back to life! The completion of this project further demonstrates HomeRise’s continued commitment to house formerly homeless individuals here in San Francisco and provide critical support to help each individual rise up.

HomeRise is deeply saddened about the passing of Reverend Arnold Townsend, a pilar in the San Francisco community known for his unwavering dedication to social justice and community service. Our thoughts and condolences are with the Townsend family and those that are mourning his passing. He was a mentor to numerous local leaders and worked closely with various organizations to advocate for the rights and welfare of marginalized communities. HomeRise is privileged to have known and partnered with Reverend Townsend on bringing supportive housing to the Filmore and expanding it our work in San Francisco. In 2018, HomeRise was honored to dedicate our newly renovated site located at 1750 McAllister Street as the Rachel Townsend Apartments in honor of Reverend Townsends late daughter, Rachel Townsend. HomeRise, and many others, were fortunate to share a relationship with the Townsend’s, who through their voice, were instrumental in addressing critical issues. Reverend Townsend leaves behind a legacy of compassion and activism that will be remembered by all who knew him. #legacy #RevTownsend #RachelTownsend #RachelTownsendApartments #SanFranciscoLegend #TheFillmore
