San Francisco is losing the people who make it run. Teachers, nurses, first responders, and multi-generational families are being priced out of the neighborhoods they grew up in or serve every day. The Housing Trust Fund Renewal tackles this crisis on. Read below for more!
Teachers, nurses, and first responders shouldn't have to commute into the city they serve. This measure funds downpayment assistance, rent relief for seniors and at-risk tenants, and support for multigenerational families, so the people who make San Francisco run can actually afford to live here.
The Housing Trust Fund Renewal doesn't cost San Franciscans a dime more. It simply renews funding the city already collects, extends it through 2058, and keeps every dollar independently audited and legally dedicated to affordable housing, not redirected without a public vote.
Vacant lots and crumbling infrastructure don't build themselves. The Housing Trust Fund Renewal converts blighted lots into real housing and funds the roads, sewers, and transit connections new homes depend on, growth that actually works for the neighborhoods it reaches.
Local dollars shouldn't have to do all the work alone. The Housing Trust Fund Renewal leverages state and federal matching dollars at a ratio of at least 3:1, turning San Francisco's own investment into a much larger pool of funding for affordable housing, without asking local taxpayers to cover the difference.
