HOUSING FOR WORKING FAMILIES
Wages for working families have not kept up with the cost of housing. Yes on A will help create 1,500 units of affordable housing for working San Franciscans, people of color, and the LGBTQ community.
HOUSING FOR SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
$30 million from Yes on A will be specifically for women who need stable housing after experiencing street violence, domestic violence and abuse, sexual assault, human trafficking or trauma-informed homelessness.
HOUSING FOR SENIORS AND FIRST RESPONDERS
Yes on A will provide affordable housing for seniors on fixed incomes who are burdened with skyrocketing housing costs. And it will also help first responders – because when an earthquake strikes, we need emergency first responders living here in the city – not far away.
HELP SAN FRANCISCO MEET OUR RHNA HOUSING GOALS
If San Francisco doesn’t approve 82,000 new homes in the next 8 years – with 46,000 affordable homes – we could lose significant state funding. Yes on A will help us meet these goals.
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR RESULTS
Yes on A is subject to independent annual financial audits, review of all spending by a citizens’ oversight committee, and a requirement that no funding can be used for administrators’ salaries or pensions. By law, all funds are required to be spent only on the specified housing projects.
NO INCREASE IN TAXES OR RENT
The City of San Francisco has a long-standing policy of only putting new bonds on the ballot when it will have no impact on property tax rates. Yes on A follows that policy: enough past bond debt has been paid off that approving this measure will not increase tax rates.
