This November, San Francisco voters will decide whether or not to increase the funding cap for the city's Housing Trust Fund. The conversation will explore how the fund's investments in affordable housing construction, homelessness prevention, and supportive services can help San Franciscans who are experiencing housing insecurity find stability and stay housed. Drawing on their experience in legal services, interim and supportive housing, tenant protections, and public policy, the panel will discuss what the Housing Trust Fund has accomplished, where it can go from here, and how it connects to the measures on in the November ballot.
- Moderator: Lori Droste, Planning and Housing Policy Director, SPUR
- Bill Barnes, Director of Campaigns & Community Engagement, Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California
- Gail Gilman, Executive Director, Eviction Defense Collaborative
- Beth Stokes, Executive Director, Episcopal Community Services
