A major milestone for Freedom West 2.0 - a project in the Western Addition neighborhood that could bring nearly 2,400 new homes to the neighborhood.

With 115 units of affordable senior housing and a rebuilt Freedom West Cooperative, this is a great step toward advancing affordable housing and creating new opportunities in the Fillmore.

OEWD was proud to partner with Freedom West residents and developer MacFarlane Partners, to advance a development agreement that provides a long-term framework for revitalizing Freedom West Homes and supporting the transformation of the surrounding neighborhood.

โ€œOur office is laser-focused on finding creative ways to accelerate housing production, so that we can deliver the kind of transformative projects our communities deserve,โ€ said Anne Taupier, OEWD Executive Director.

โ€œFreedom West 2.0 is a game changer for the Western Additionโ€”bringing renewed opportunity to a neighborhood that has waited decades for meaningful reinvestment at scale. This legislation ensures longtime residents can remain in their community and creates space for new residents to support its future and contribute to the success of San Francisco.โ€
