  • Affordable Housing for All: Funding Real Solutions

    Join PROPEL and CCHO for Affordable Housing Month Screening & Panel
    “Affordable Housing for All: Funding Real Solutions”
    After a decade of deregulation laws allegedly designed to build housing affordability, we’re still nowhere near addressing the crisis. Market-rate and affordable housing developers agree: zoning isn’t the issue, financing is. So how can we fund a future where San Franciscans of all income levels can afford to live, create and raise families here?
    Watch PROPEL’s latest Good Policy short film: “Affordable Housing For All” and hear from CCHO members and housing experts on the tools City Hall can be implementing today to deliver an affordable future for all. If you’ve ever had questions about how housing financing works, or what positive solutions you can be advocating for, this happy hour event is for you!
