SPUR appreciate Supervisor Tang’s interest in increasing the effectiveness of the HOME-SF program and encourages approval of the legislation in order to help address San Francisco’s housing shortage. SPUR also believes that additional steps should be considered to make HOME-SF more effective, including revisiting the prohibition on demolition and replacing it with strong tenant protections and right-to-return/replacement rules, and looking at income targets, unit size requirements and other parameters that may be a barrier to the HOME-SF option.
