For Affordable Housing and Jobs

Mission Action Plan 2020

What is your housing story?

The Mission is in the heart of the nations highest-cost

housing market and is one of the most dramatic examples of

gentrification in the country.

In the Mission, since 2000: How many Latinos were displaced?

How many working class families were displaced?

Latinos in la Misin

8,000 Latinos were displaced from the Mission since 2000.

Latinos comprised half of the Mission population in 2000. Now they are less than 40%. Under current trends, Latinos will be only a third of population in the Mission by 2020.

Latinos in la Misin

1,500 families earning less than $50,000 displaced since 2000.

Families earning less than $50,000 made up half of the households in 2000, now they are only a third.

These include pensioners, day laborers, housecleaners and nannies, restaurant and hotel workers.

Working class families

1,500 families earning between $50-$75,000 displaced since 2000.

Families earning between $50-$75,000 made up a quarter of households in 2000, now only 13%.

These families include healthcare workers, school paraprofessionals, nonprofit staff, and entry level teachers.

Working class families

The number of households between $75,000 and $100,000 stayed about the same since 2000.

6,000 new households earning over $100,000 entered the Mission, 700% increase.

In 2000, only 5% of Mission households earned over $150,000, now make up one quarter.

Soaring housing costs are a result of this increasing income inequality.

Income Inequality

Who knows someone whos been evicted? Do you pay more than half your income in rent? How many evictions in the Mission since 2000?

2,370 evictions in the Mission since 2000, 180 per year, half are no-fault evictions.

Landlord harassment and threats to immigrants and non-English speakers, "buyouts.

80 units withdrawn from rent-control every year through Ellis, Condo Conversions, and demolitions.

Evictions

72% of families in the Mission are renters

85% of school families in the Mission pay more than half of their income in rent

Every time a family leaves (by force or choice), the unit jumps to market: $1,900 studios and $4,000 two-bedroom units

Housing Costs

40 residential hotels are in the Mission, centered on 16th & Mission.

Until now, these units have been protected by law, and have rent control for tenants over 30 days.

Now tenants displaced (through eviction or attrition), hotels converted into tech-worker dormitories, such as the Sierra Hotel at 20th & Mission.

Residential Hotels

Who Will Live in the Mission in 2020?

3,000 families earning less than $75,000 were displaced from the Mission since 2000.

Families less than $75,000 made up three quarters of households in 2000. Now they are only half.

This number reflects the 2,400 evictions that happened over the same period.

Just to keep up with this rate of displacement, we need to preserve or build new affordable homes at a rate of about 240 units per year

Trend for all households under $75,000

Trend for all households under $75,000

Whats getting built, ...and whats getting lost...

500 units under construction or approved. 93% of the units are for the luxury market

1,000 units being planned

Among the largest are: 1. Mission and 16th (351 units) 2. Bryant & 18th / Cellspace (274) 3. S. Van Ness & Cesar Chavez (161) 4. Folsom & 23rd (115 units) 5. S. Van Ness & 16th (84 units)

Development: Market-rate

31 units per year since 2006

28% of the units were affordable (from nonprofit to inclusionary).

34 affordable units under construction or approved by Planning

7% of planned housing to be affordable. The rest will be market-rate.

Development: Affordable Housing

The Balance Sheet

30 units: new affordable units built or acquired per year

80 units: rent-controlled units withdrawn

30 80 = -50 We arent doing so well!

3 city-owned sites are being considered for affordable: 1950 Mission, Folsom &17th, Shotwell & Chavez, 240 units

Small sites acquisition/rehab program helps buy buildings being Ellised, preserves as affordable housing

Affordable Housing prospects

Affordable Housing prospects

To reach Prop K goal of 33% affordable housing in the Mission, we need to immediately acquire sites to build 860 new affordable units.

To reach Prop K goal of 1-for-1 match of market-rate to units affordable to middle-class workers, we need 2,670 new or preserved units.

8,000 Latinos displaced since 2000.

3,000 families under $75,000 displaced since 2000.

2,400 evictions since 2000.

80 units withdrawn from rent-control per year.

30 affordable units built per year.

7% future affordable units in approved pipeline.

Mission by the numbers!

How do we get at the root causes?

Community has no control of their own housing or cultural resources

Community has no control over the future of sites in the neighborhood

Community has little decision-making power over planning or development decisions

Root causes

In the Mission, data on the range of households being displaced defines the priority: 0-$75,000/year

Prop K mandated the city to build or preserve 33% Low and Moderate income housing, and 50% middle-class workforce housing

Hold the City accountable to meeting this 1:1 housing goal in the neighborhood, or about 2,400 units over 10 years.

E. Numerical Targets

and low-wage workers, SRO tenants, teachers, and small businesses, in March-April, to gather ideas, set targets, and develop policies.
