Three members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors introduced separate charter amendments this week, including one supported by Mayor Daniel Lurie that would increase funding for an affordable-housing trust fund, and two others to establish a public bank and streamline The City’s system of commissions and advisory bodies.
Surrounded by a crowd featuring housing developers, tenants and union officials, Lurie and District 7 Supervisor Myrna Melgar on Tuesday unveiled a proposal on the steps of City Hall that would expand and extend the city’s Housing Trust Fund in order to generate up to $3 billion over 30 years for the production and preservation of affordable housing.
The proposed charter amendment had the support of affordable-housing organizations that included the San Francisco Community Land Trust and the Council of Community Housing Organizations.
