2020 San Francisco Housing Balance Report No. 12

An analysis of San Francisco’s affordable and market rate housing production covering a ten-year period from 2011 to 2020. This analysis is performed for the City as a whole, and by supervisorial district using the methodology of calculating new affordable housing built, less residential units removed from “protected status”, as a proportion of new units built and permitted. District 4 (the Sunset) is the most out of balance of the 11 districts with a -73.9% cumulative housing balance. When factoring in units that have been permanently removed from rent control protection, the district lost 461 rent protected units compared with the 71 affordable units that were built, rehabilitated, and permitted, for a net loss of 390 affordable homes. District 4 also saw the lowest number of total new housing units (including both affordable and market rate) built and permitted with 528 in the last decade.

Planning Director Bulletin No. 5 - Streamlined Approval Process for Affordable and Supportive Housing

This bulletin describes the ministerial approval process for affordable, mixed-income, and Supportive Housing projects, which eliminates the requirement to undergo CEQA review and requires that Planning approvals are granted within certain statutory timeframes. SB-35, the affordable housing streamlining bill was passed legislatively and signed into law by then Governor Jerry Brown in 2017. This process applies to every California jurisdiction that falls below its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) goals for all income categories for the current planning cycle, and is used for all affordable housing developments in San Francisco. Similarly, AB 2162 was signed into law by Jerry Brown in 2018 and creates a similar streamlined approvals process for Supportive Housing developments. Streamlining applies to all affordable housing developments in San Francisco.

Planning Director Bulletin No. 6 - Implementing the State Density Bonus Program

Policy Link: Equity Profile of the San Francisco Bay Area Region

The Bay Area’s growing, diverse population is a major economic asset that will continue to help the region compete in the global economy. But to fully tap into this asset, many more opportunities and pathways for communities of color and others at the lowest rungs of the economic ladder who are disconnected from the region’s booming economy need to be created. This means, among others actions, ensuring every neighborhood throughout the region is a community of opportunity that provides the essential ingredients that people need to thrive, including affordable homes located near good schools and transportation options.
