Housing

is a

Human Right

 

Everyone

deserves

a home,

but

in San Francisco,

housing

is too often

overpriced,

overcrowded,

cramped,

and

in short supply.

​

The market

has skewed 

towards

studio

apartments,

the most

expensive

to build

per square foot,

are often

the most

profitable

for landlords.

​

Meanwhile,

larger apartments

--more affordable

to build

per square foot--

are frequently

divided into

smaller units

to

increase profits.

​

This has

left the city 

with a glut

of small,

empty

apartments,

with causes

going beyond

this introduction.

 

San Francisco

has

chronically

lacked

sufficient

family

housing.

​

Building

larger units

is not only

more

cost-efficient,

but

offers

the flexibility

to accomodate

families

of all shapes,

sizes 

and diversity

that

San Francisco

is famous for.

​

One

of

the most

vulnerable

groups

affected

by

this housing

crisis

is

seniors

and

the elderly,

who are

the fastest

growing

group

being made

homeless.

 

Stagnant

wages

during

previous

decades,

and

recent

inflation,

make

Social Security

and

devalued

savings

an

inadequate

lifeline

to pay for rent,

let alone eat.
​

Addressing

homelessness

requires

multiple

solutions,

as

not all

individuals

facing

homelessness

need

rehabilitation.

​

San Francisco

requires

tailored

approaches

for

the many

forms

of homelessness

that exist

across

our many

communities,

ensuring

the privacy,

security,

for their needs

and safety.
