June 29th will be a big day for housing. Mayor Breed, Supervisor Engardio and Supervisor Dorsey's first piece of “Housing For All” legislation will be before Planning Meet on the steps of City Hall at 12:15 pm for a rally in support of this vital piece of pro-housing legislation. Following speeches from the Mayor, Supervisor Engardio and Supervisor Dorsey, we will go up to Rm 400 to continue to show our support in front of the Planning Commission.

We already know our opponents will show up in force to say no to housing, which makes it all the more crucial for us to be there to say “Yes”! This legislation will:

• Improve the process to build housing by greatly reducing Conditional Use Authorizations, public hearings and neighborhood notifications for most new housing

• Make it easier to build subsidized affordable housing

• Make the rules uniform and in compliance with state law

• Authorize senior housing, homeless shelters, and group housing throughout San Francisco

You can read the full executive summary here.

All told, it will reduce timelines and actually enact much of what we already agreed to do as a city in the Housing Element adopted at the beginning of 2023. This legislation is absolutely essential as we work to build 82,000 new homes by 2031.
