The Jefferson hotel was acquired by THC through the SRO/Master Lease Program in September of 1999. The project was undertaken at the request of the Mayor’s office, which was closing the Mission Rock Shelter and needed housing for the people who had been staying there. The Jefferson Hotel is a critical resource to serve the homeless population and provides 111 units of housing.

THC has a long-term relationship with the Jefferson’s owner, since THC’s takeover we have renovated the basement area for community use and significantly upgraded the entire building. THC continues to maintain and upgrade this hotel to ensure residents have an affordable and safe place to live.
