The state’s Homekey+ program has awarded $18,684,520 to rehabilitate 629 Post Street in San Francisco as housing for veterans. California City News reports it is the only Bay Area project in a five-community, $115 million round.
Why it matters
Homekey+ is funded through Proposition 1, the 2024 bond measure for behavioral health treatment and supportive housing. The state’s awardee list, current as of October 13, 2026, names 629 Post LLC and Swords to Plowshares: Veterans Rights Organization as co-applicants, with the City and County of San Francisco as the eligible applicant. The use is listed as rehabilitation, not new construction, which means an existing building is being reworked and not built from scratch. For San Francisco housing developers, it is one example of bond money going to rehabilitation of existing stock.

The numbers
The list row shows 44 Homekey+ funded units, all 44 assisted units reserved for veterans, and no manager units. The award splits into $13,225,000 for capital, $4,139,520 for operating costs and $1,320,000 in veteran operating support. Those three parts add up to the $18,684,520 total. The list dates the award 9/1/26.
California City News reported on November 8 that the city will renovate an existing 63-unit apartment building, with 44 units reserved for veterans experiencing homelessness and behavioral health challenges. The two counts fit together: 44 is the number the state funded and reserved for veterans, and 63 is the building’s total as reported by that outlet. The state list does not state the building total, so the 19 other units are not covered by this award on the record we reviewed.
Also unresolved on the record is the gap between the 9/1/26 award date on the list and the later public announcement of the round. We report the list’s date as shown.
What’s next
The list does not give a construction schedule, a contractor or a move-in date, and none appears in the reporting we reviewed. Watch for city agenda items and grant agreements that set the rehabilitation timeline and any additional funding for the remaining units. We will update this story when that record posts.
