Namiki Apartments is an affordable housing community for seniors in San Francisco, at 1776 Sutter Street. It is owned and managed by Chinatown Community Development Center, also called Chinatown CDC.
The building was first built in 1978 under a federal housing program that kept rents affordable. About twenty years later, that program was set to end and rents could have gone up to full market price. The tenants worked together to save their homes. They got help to organize, and they chose Chinatown CDC to buy the building.
Chinatown CDC bought Namiki in 2001 and fixed up balconies, kitchens, and community areas. The homes are one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The waiting list is closed at this time.

How much does independent living cost?
There is no single price for independent living. Rent is set by each community and varies a lot by city. The cost survey this site uses does not publish a national median for independent living, so we do not print one. Medicare does not pay for it, so families pay the rent out of pocket. See our guide to independent living costs and who pays for the full picture.
Does Medicare pay for independent living?
No. Medicare does not pay rent or housing costs. It pays for your medical care while you live there, like doctor visits, hospital care, and home health visits. The housing itself is paid out of pocket.
What is the difference between independent living and assisted living?
Independent living is housing for older adults who can live on their own. It gives a private home, meals in some places, and social activities. It does not include help with daily tasks. Assisted living adds that help. Staff help with bathing, dressing, and medicine, and staff are on hand day and night.
Who else pays for independent living besides Medicare?
Families pay the rent out of pocket. No insurance pays for independent living rent. Low-income senior apartments funded by HUD keep rent lower for people who qualify. Some veterans put VA pension payments toward the rent.
