About INTERNATIONAL HOTEL SENIOR HOUSING INC

International Hotel Senior Housing, Inc. is a San Francisco nonprofit public benefit corporation that owns and operates the I‑Hotel senior housing development in Manilatown/Chinatown. The 15‑story building (opened in 2005) provides approximately 104 affordable units for very low‑income seniors and includes community spaces that commemorate the history of the original I‑Hotel.

The organization partners with Chinatown Community Development Center for development, property management and resident services and with the Manilatown Heritage Foundation to operate the ground‑floor cultural center. Recent years have seen ongoing resident services (daily nutrition and activities), a closed waiting list due to demand, and continued stewardship of the building amid financial pressures stemming from operating deficits and building‑related liabilities reported in recent Form 990 filings.

Notable achievements

Led the long‑running effort to restore affordable senior housing on the original I‑Hotel site; the new 15‑story building opened in 2005 as the culmination of decades of community advocacy.

Long‑term affordable senior housing

Operates roughly 104 units (primarily studios) dedicated to very‑low‑income seniors with on‑site resident services including daily nutrition and activities, preserving affordable housing in central San Francisco.

Secured multi‑source development funding

Developed the project through a partnership and financing package that included the Mayor’s Office of Housing, HUD, Federal Home Loan Bank AHP funding and a CCDC capital campaign to complete the $28.8M development.
