Fordable housing developer i know how challenging and costly it is to acquire sites for Affordable Housing. This initiative represents a exciting opportunity to expand San Franciscos supply of Affordable Housing. The Public Sector and the Mayors Office of housing is our partner in creating thousands of affordable apartments. The Mayors Office [inaudible] developable land is getting expensive. Every dollar the sit a spend is a dollar they cannot spend to build Affordable Housing. 18 and a half Million Dollars is another 18 and a half million we cant spend. Currently most thf Mayors Office of Housing Resources preserve existing Public Housing which is important but it doesnt add a single unit to our Affordable Housing stock at a time when we need t. Many city agencies own sites they no longer need for their core function. This is a public resource that should go to public good. I support this measure and look forward to the passage and implementation. Thank you thank you mrs. Dodge. Good
As i said many times before, 60 of the San Francisco residents qualify for Affordable Housing in the city. The board intended this program to apply to all units built, and explicitly stated that Group Housing was one of the types of housing which should apply under the inclusionary ordinance. It only became clear as supervisor avalos mentioned, to our office last year, that the Planning Department has been interpreting this ordinance differently because of a difference in how dwelling units are interpreted versus housesing units. And because Group Housing is not considered under the umbrella of dwelling units, the Zoning Administrator has therefore been interpreting our ordinance as excluding Group Housing from the policy. This cleanup legislation just explicitly makes clear that it is Group Housing as defined about under the housing code that is now included in inclusionary Housing Ordinance and not based on how we actually define dwelling units. 1178 folsom, two blocks within two blo
Doing backoftheenvelope math, it will be challenging to afford sro at market rate without that support. So i cant imagine that we would support changing the ami. But we are in support of the legislation in its current form. Thanks. Next speaker. Hi. Jennifer friedenbach, were an organization deeply rooted in the tenderloin and been there the past 27 years. For the tenderloin community, we have really deep housing problems. And they tend much towards the very extremely lowincome. I would guess that just about every garage in the tenderloin is occupied. We have a lot of overcrowding. We have of course, a tremendous amount of people who are tenderloin residents without housing. You can see that any day, the effects of the severe housing crisis in that neighborhood. I dont think anyone imagines highend housing and i would imagine that the real residents of this highend housing would actually not be permanent residents, but would be used as corporate rooms for corporations who are housing p
The First Amendment raising about income and whether its an appropriate place for that kind of level . Frankly, i would like to say that raising the ami level for Group Housing to 90 ami is quite ludicrous. If you take 60,000, which was quoted as the ami level, or the income level for someone at 90 , divided that by 12 for 12 months, divided by a third, you would be expected to pay 1777 a month for Group Housing situation. So if i could have the overhead slide, if possible . So you are saying fernando, you are saying that 1700 is unreasonable for group house that anybody should pay . What i have got on the slide . Overhead, sfgovtv. Down a little bit. What is the new panoramic, which is about to open micro units a little bit above that 90 level. If you want to share a house in nob hill its just above 90 ami. Just to say that is fine right now. As soon as the market changes the Mayors Office of housing will be stuck trying to rent an ami unit when Group Housing may be going for somethin
