Summary

This resolution urges the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD) and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to address a significant reduction in affordable housing at the Potrero Yard Modernization Project. Originally planned for 465 units of 100% affordable housing, the project's scope was reduced by the SFMTA Board on March 3, 2026, to only 100 units, a loss of 365 affordable homes. This reduction occurred despite over eight years of community engagement through the Potrero Yard Neighborhood Working Group and unanimous approval of entitlements for the full 465 units in 2024.

Key Actions Urged:

  • Prioritize Remaining Units: MOHCD and SFMTA are urged to prioritize the completion of the remaining 100 affordable units at the Potrero Yard site.
  • Commit to Additional Units: MOHCD is urged to identify funding for, and SFMTA to deliver, an additional 365 units of 100% affordable housing on SFMTA-owned public lands to compensate for the loss at Potrero Yard.
  • Gap Financing: MOHCD is urged to commit to gap financing for the remaining 100 units by Spring 2027 to ensure simultaneous construction of the bus yard and housing.

The resolution commends the Potrero Yard Neighborhood Working Group for their dedication and emphasizes the need to meet San Francisco's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) goals.
