Inclusionary requirement has always explicitly included Group Housing. But at many point, the Planning Department made an unofficial determination that Group Housing was not subject to the Inclusionary Housing Program. However, this determination was never formalized in a written Zoning Administrator determination, which could have been appealed to the board of appeals. Therefore, we only recently became aware of this unofficial policy. And recently developed and proposed a number of marketrate Group Housing projects that have brought to light the fact that the Planning Department is currently...

Group housing and we expect to see more in the pipeline. We think its only fair for the development in the tenderloin to be affordable to some of the people who live in the tenderloin. On that level, we support keeping the ami 55 . Even that amount isnt affordable to a lot of tenderloin residents, but 90 certainly would be affordable to even less.

And because Group Housing is not considered under the umbrella o...

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.

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 ...

Housing and Group Housing both bmr Group Housing and nonbmr Group Housing in my view is a very important part of the mix. We need to make sure that were allowing various types to be built. I know at least one Group Housing project that was in the pipeline, when this legislation was introduced, converted to a more traditional apartment or condo building. They said it no longer penciled out for their financing and we lost a Group Housing project. I have heard from other Group Housing developers that it can pencil out. So i think its a little unclear here, but clearly having inclusionary Housing ...
