Gavin Newsom’s office continues to award grants through its Homekey program. > The money will allow the city to buy and rehabilitate the Piedmont Place hotel, transforming it into 44 studios apartments, one two-bedroom unit and one studio unit for a property manager. The units will provide housing for people who have been homeless a long time, or are homeless and struggling with medical conditions that make it difficult for them to work.
