Mercy Housing and Homeless Prenatal Program Community Campus Expansion - Public Art Commission

The Homeless Prenatal Program (HPP) Community Campus expansion is an 8-story mixed-use building and its connection points being built adjacent to HPP's current building at the corner of 18th Street and Potrero Avenue at 2530 18th Street. The campus expansion will include supportive housing, office space, and supportive services. Mercy Housing will support HPP in their campus expansion plan, taking the lead on financing and development of the residential portion of the project and coordinating with HPP and their consultants on the expanded office and services space.
