:: SUPPORT the LUXURY MORATORIUM! ::
:: #SaveTheMission ::

This temporary moratorium would allow time for a community-based plan for truly affordable housing.

Luxury housing accounts for 93% of the housing being built in the Mission. The SF Planning department has determined that only 13 sites remain in the Mission for the development of affordable housing. The very limited property left in the Mission must be prioritized for affordable housing, not luxury condos unaffordable to the majority of San Franciscans.

Full text of legislation.

:: AOPOYE un ALTO a la CONSTRUCCIÓN de CONDOMINIOS ::

Este alto temporal nos dara tiempo para crear un plan comunitario que ofresco viviendas de bajos ingresos.

Los espacios limitados en la Mission deben de ser una prioridad para vivendas de bajos ingresos y no para condominios de lujo.

We promised to take City Hall on May 8 and that is exactly what we did!

One thousand strong, we made our demands loud and clear under the Dome and at the doors of the Mayor and the Supervisors. It was truly an incredible day.

Our chants, as we marched through through the halls — No monsters in the Mission! Stop the evictions! — echoed across the country and ’round the world as the event gained national and even international media attention.

Stay tuned at this website for lots of amazing videos and images from the event and for a comprehensive list of media coverage. Here are two amazing videos for starters!

STOP THE EVICTIONS
PAREN LOS DESALOJOS 

NO MONSTER IN THE MISSION
NO AL MONSTRUO EN LA MISIÓN

TRULY AFFORDABLE HOUSING NOW
CONSTRUYAN VIVIENDA ECONÓMICA AHORA

NO MORE LUXURY-PRICED DEVELOPMENT
NO MÁS CONSTRUCCIÓN DE CONDOMINIOS LUJOSOS

MAYOR LEE: DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY
ALCALDE ED LEE: DECLARE EL ESTADO DE EMERGENCIA

WE DEMAND THAT THE CITY TAKE THE FOLLOWING IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:

 PDF VERSION

Declare a State of Emergency to Address Affordable Housing Crisis

• Recognize and acknowledge that San Francisco is facing a serious crisis in affordable housing and formulate a bold plan to address this crisis.
• Place a moratorium on evictions in San Francisco for at least 12 months and a moratorium on market-rate development for 2 years.  No more luxury “Monsters in the Mission”.

Protect our Community

• Pass legislation to stop the displacement of our cultural and artistic communities and institutions.
• Approve Just Cause Protection 2.0 for tenants.
• Investigate the cluster of fires in the Mission District that have killed at least three people so far. Require that the owners of fire-damaged buildings in the Mission provide every resident and business the right to return at the same rental price and terms. Fast-track the rehabilitation of fire-damaged rental units.

Fund and Build Affordable Housing 

• Make substantial budget allocations (at least $150 million per year) for affordable housing, down payments on Co-op Home Ownership, and Mission non-profit property and build at least 3,000 affordable housing units in the Mission over the next five years for people with 0-30% AMI.
• Generate increased funding for housing from corporate taxes, property tax increases, transfer fees, developer in lieu fees, the Housing Trust Fund, a substantial Housing Bond, and taxes on short-term rentals.
• Issue vouchers, without expiration, for all people who have been evicted from the Mission through No-Fault Evictions and create a system to manage voucher receipts.
• Provide housing to all residents of San Francisco by utilizing available Treasure Island, Presidio, and Housing Authority resources.
• Identify and purchase a sufficient amount of sites for affordable housing including publicly-owned land.
• Stop the criminalization of homeless residents of the Mission and house every homeless resident of the Mission, including single adults, families and children.

Institute Community Oversight

• Create a Mission Housing Committee that is accountable, open, transparent, and oversees bottom-up for-profit housing development in the Mission and develops a long term ten year strategic plan to preserve and expand affordable housing in the Mission.
