Since its inception in January 2003, the Sixth Street Economic Revitalization Program has been a catalyst for the gradual transformation of Sixth Street. Designed and implemented by Urban Solutions, the initiative has attracted 28 new businesses, created 70 jobs, facilitated more than 64 facade and tenant improvements, with 38 additional building projects in progress. Since 2003, the commercial vacancy rate in the corridor has been reduced from 40% down to 15%. New sidewalks, trees and antique streetlights have been installed from Market Street all the way to Harrison Street. The program is funded by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency and advised by the South of Market Project Area Committee (SOMPAC).

Urban Solutions was originally founded as the South of Market Foundation in 1992 to foster the social and economic development of the South of Market Earthquake Recovery Area and greater South of Market community. The organization changed its name to Urban Solutions in 2002. Urban Solutions provides technical assistance to businesses that generate employment opportunities for low and moderate income area residents and works to improve the Sixth Street retail corridor.

This program provides matching grants, free architectural services and low-cost loans to property owners to improve the facades and interiors of their buildings.

Sixth Street offers reasonably-priced retail and commercial space in a centrally located neighborhood in San Francisco.
