On a cloudy, rainy April morning, eight volunteers from HFS gathered at the Habitat for Humanity San Francisco Chapter’s Mission Street project for a day of pounding nails, walking scaffolding and laying plywood along a roofline. The sun came out in the late morning and it turned into a superb day with great views from the top of the 4 story structure. There was a lunch run to a Wendy’s up the street that included volunteers from other companies joining the crowd.
Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco’s premier construction project, the most advanced Habitat development west of New York City, is a group of condominiums that will become home to 36 local working families. The site is located at 7555 Mission Street in Daly City, just 1 block from the Colma BART station.
The four-story structure built on a podium garage is Habitat Greater San Francisco’s most ambitious development to date and is a cornerstone of the Grand Boulevard Initiative, exemplifying the revitalization that is underway along El Camino Real to provide compact, urban design and construction in a pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented corridor.

The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) began receiving claims on July 1 for the newly established Code 19 rate. Similar to the Code 18 rate for Medi-Cal Managed Care services, Code 19 will be imbedded into the prospective payment system (PPS) rate for services provided by FQHCs and RHCs to beneficiaries of the Children’s Health Insurance Program(CHIP). The Code 19 rate equals the difference between what the clinic receives for Healthy Families services and their Medi-Cal PPS rate.
