Building a vibrant, integrated community on what currently serves as a massive, underutilized parking lot represents an incredible opportunity that San Francisco must not squander! Balboa Reservoir will create:
- 1,100 much-needed new homes, with 550 new units (50%) affordable to low- and moderate-income families.
- 1, 2, and 3 bedroom homes to meet different family needs.
- 150 homes set aside as teacher and educator housing, with first priority given to City College educators.

Building a vibrant, integrated community on what currently serves as a massive, underutilized parking lot represents an incredible opportunity that San Francisco must not squander!
We write to enthusiastically support building over a thousand new homes at Balboa Reservoir. Steps away from the Balboa BART Station, the J and K Muni lines, multiple bus lines, and City College of SF, the project is climate-friendly zero-displacement and transit-oriented. Bringing 1100 families to the area will help existing small businesses. With half of this project dedicated to low and middle housing, Balboa Reservoir uses private funding to get us more affordable housing than the city could build on it’s own. New community benefits include a two-acre public park, a childcare center, and transportation improvements. These incredible community benefits are only possible by building an integrated community with a mix of incomes.
In the midst of San Francisco’s acute housing shortage, the Balboa Reservoir project would provide much-needed homes and affordable housing. After four years of process, it’s time to say yes to housing at Balboa. Please join us in supporting moving this housing forward without delay!
