The San Francisco Community Land Trust (SFCLT) is deeply saddened by a fire that occurred early this morning at one of our residential buildings in the Tenderloin.
The fire began at approximately 12:30 a.m. and was met with a rapid response from the San Francisco Fire Department and emergency personnel. At this time, the cause of the fire remains unknown and is under investigation. We are grateful that as of this morning there have been no reported injuries.
40 households and 2 commercial tenants have been impacted by this incident. The American Red Cross and San Francisco emergency response teams assisted with transportation for residents to temporary shelter accommodations overnight.
Our immediate priority is the safety, stability, and well-being of every resident affected by this fire. SFCLT staff and property management are actively working to assess the extent of the damage and identify relocation options for residents who are unable to return to their homes.
This is an incredibly difficult and uncertain moment for our residents and community. We are asking our partners, neighbors, and broader community to support recovery efforts by sharing leads on possible temporary relocation options and available housing resources.
For those who are able to support financially, contributions will go directly toward ensuring stability and immediate support for impacted residents as recovery efforts continue. You can make a donation to support recovery efforts here.
We are grateful for the swift response of first responders, emergency personnel, community partners, property management and everyone offering support during this challenging time.
