Our Challenge

San Francisco does not have enough affordable housing. Nurses, teachers, cops, firemen, drivers, shopkeepers, waiters - in other words, the people taking care of the tough jobs in San Francisco-, have a hard time finding housing that is within their financial reach. Instead, they often have to move to places far away from the city, with hours-long commutes to the city. They deserve to be able to live where they work.

The Solution

• Make it easier to create new living spaces by simplifying rules and accelerating approval processes. It must be easier and faster to expand one’s home, redevelop homes into multifamily housing and redevelop underused lots (parking lots, single story commercial buildings).
• Subsidize affordable housing.
• Build 4,000 additional homeless shelters.
