Build More Homes
For a San Francisco everyone can afford
The SF Board of Supervisors will soon vote to make it easier to build more housing in San Francisco. It’s time to take action and show our support.
Take Action
Housing in San Franciscois too expensive
We've organized for years to put in place elected officials to address our housing crisis - and now it's time for them to act.
People can't live where they work
Teachers, nurses, and working people are being priced out of the communities they serve. The people who make San Francisco run can't afford to live here.
Families are leaving
High costs are pushing families out of the City. Kids who grew up here can't afford to stay here as young adults. San Francisco is losing the next generation.
We're not building
In 2024, SF issued the fewest housing permits per resident of any major California city. Our current rules make building financially impossible – and our city loses out.
The good news: we have a plan.
The hard part: we need at least six Supervisors to support it.
A smarter path to affordable housing — that actuallygets built
Housing champions Mayor Lurie and Supervisor Melgar have introduced legislation to increase funding for affordable housing, while making it cheaper to build housing for everyone. For the first time in years, we have both the tools and the political will. Now we need the votes.
Fix the rules that stopped builders
Current requirements make most housing too expensive to build. The new ordinance makes it cheaper for builders.
Fund affordable housing for the long term
A new Housing Trust Fund– money set aside, which will allow the City to build more housing AND protect affordability.
