Description |
|---|---|
| DPH – ZSFG Childcare Center | ZSFG is required to construct and operate a new childcare center for employees as a result of a union arbitration award. The original total project cost was estimated to be $5 million, of which $2.5 million has already been funded by the General Fund. The initial location has been abandoned due to structural concerns, and there is ongoing coordination with stakeholders to select an appropriate site. |
| DPH – Treasure Island Residential Step-Down Facility | In collaboration with the Treasure Island Development Authority, the Mayor’s Office on Housing and Community Development, and Mercy Housing, DPH is initiating development of a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Residential Step-Down Facility to be located on Treasure Island. This facility will add at least 70 beds to provide care for a period of one to two years in the most appropriate and least restrictive setting after clients complete their initial 90-day SUD medically necessary residential treatment. The Treasure Island Residential Step-Down Facility will help ensure that clients have the necessary continuation of support for them to maintain and strengthen their recovery. |
| DPH – LHH Administration Campus Power Transformers | Additional Hetch Hetchy power transformers for the Administration building will provide additional power that will enable future growth, meet power and cooling requirements, and enable IT upgrades. |
| DPH – ZSFG Relocation of Pathology | This project would relocate anatomical pathology to the 2nd floor of Building 3 to accommodate staff relocating from 101 Grove Street. |

DPH – ZSFG Campus Security Enhancements
|
The ZSFG campus has many public entrances and doorways that are either mechanically keyed or have a non-networked combination badge card reader. To improve safety and security, this project would include installation of door card readers that are connected to the campus security network program. This project would also add security enhancements, including loading dock security at Building 5, campus perimeter fence repairs, door alarm hardware replacement, campus security duress button installations, and an ambulance bay security gate. |
| DPH – Aging Infrastructure Projects | Outstanding DPH needs include seismically-deficient Buildings 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 100 at ZSFG; renovating remaining unoccupied buildings at LHH; addressing long outstanding needs at neighborhood clinics not covered by currently planned funding sources; and needs related to the Population Health Division City Clinic. |
| DPH – 101 Grove Retrofit | Once Department of Public Health staff exit the offices at 101 Grove Street, the City will have to decide how to activate the building. The monumental Beaux Arts 101 Grove is contributory to the Civic Center Historic District and not eligible for replacement. The City will evaluate whether a sale, public-private partnership, or City-driven retrofit project will make for the best use of the space and funds required. No preliminary costing for any of these scenarios has been developed. |
| HSA – 1235 Mission Street Seismic Improvements | HSA’s 1235 Mission Street Facility is currently undergoing a seismic evaluation by DPW. The results of this evaluation will help inform decisions regarding City investments in major capital projects at this location. The 1235 Mission Street Facility is owned by the San Francisco Unified School District |
| HSH – 525 5th Street Shelter | HSH is coordinating with Public Works to design and program an emergency adult shelter at 525 5th Street to replace the existing shelter and maximize the footprint of the site. Rather than retrofitting the existing building, which would require ongoing rehabilitation at a substantial cost, a new seismically safe and modern building would be designed to meet program requirements and maintain the number of shelter beds currently available to people experiencing homelessness in San Francisco. |
| HSH – Shelter Accessibility and Barrier Removal | The Mayor’s Office of Disability (MOD) has identified several accessibility and barrier removal needs at the City’s emergency shelters. A significant number of residents with disabilities require more accessible and functional sites. Over the past five years, MOD has identified accessibility deficiencies in the City’s legacy congregate emergency shelter system. The most common issues are aging elevators, code-compliant electrical outlets, accessible restroom features, better front door access, and difficulty with caregiver access to the shelters. MOD provided $84,000 for an accessibility and barrier removal project to conduct Certified Access Specialist (CASp) assessments of the City’s emergency shelters. These assessments are complete and will provide HSH with a roadmap for removing barriers and enhancing accessibility at the City’s shelters. |
