Kelly Cullen Community

Much like the Tenderloin neighborhood where it sits, the former Central YMCA building, constructed in 1910 following the 1906 earthquake, had seen better days. The once abandoned classical architecture has been given a new life, converted to permanent housing and supportive service space for the formerly homeless. The new housing units average 230 sq. ft. and include private baths and compact kitchenettes. The award-winning design includes a restored atrium and auditorium, a remodeled gym on the fifth floor, and a public health clinic for the residents and community members on the ground floor.
