OCII to issue RFP for 101 affordable units at Mission Bay to house formerly homeless veterans and low-income families
Summary
OCII announced an RFP for up to 101 affordable rental units at 1150 Third Street (Mission Bay Block 3 East): roughly half reserved for formerly homeless veterans with supportive services and half for low-income families; OCII staff will lead the RFP process with interagency panels and stakeholder input.
OCII told commissioners on April 21 it will issue an RFP to develop up to 101 affordable rental units at 1150 Third Street (Mission Bay Block 3 East), targeting formerly homeless veterans and low‑income families.
Staff said the program would split the site roughly in half: 50 units with supportive services for formerly homeless veterans (with operating subsidies and partnerships with the Human Services Agency and the Department of Veterans Affairs) and about 51 units for low‑income families. OCII will manage the capital selection process and expects to collaborate with the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development on outreach and post-completion transfer of affordable housing responsibilities to the housing successor agency.
Process and schedule
OCII staff said an RFP will be issued with a pre-submittal conference and a 60‑day response window. Selection will use an interagency panel including city agencies and a CAC representative. Staff indicated vendors would be reimbursed for some predevelopment costs to ensure a level playing field. By August the Commission should see a recommended selection and proposed predevelopment loan, staff said.
Why it matters
The site is city‑owned land donated under earlier Mission Bay agreements; staff said Mission Bay commitments total roughly 6,400 units with a 28% affordable target, and OCII has produced about two-thirds of the planned affordable units to date through inclusionary requirements and land donations to the former redevelopment agency. The proposed RFP responds to city priorities for housing formerly homeless veterans and increasing affordable housing production.
Next steps
OCII will issue the RFP and convene stakeholder review panels; staff will return with a recommended developer selection and proposed predevelopment funding in August.
