Prioritize Affordability and Stability

  • Build and buy affordable housing to create stability, affordability and opportunity for people and families with low incomes.

  • Secure new, significant, sustainable resources for affordable housing, so new affordable housing is no longer dependent on market-rate housing.

Stop Relying on Profit-Driven Housing Development

  • Stop policies that "streamline" profit-driven housing.

Public Lands for Equity

  • Stop selling off public lands to for-profit developers. We need that land for 100% truly affordable housing, neighborhood-serving small businesses, nonprofits, and publicly accessible open space.

Community Planning

  • Lead all neighborhood and citywide planning and housing policies from the grassroots: people of color, low income, immigrant, youth, senior, disabled and working class residents to address economic, racial and social inequalities.

  • Repeal state laws that disempower our communities and that deny our ability to plan for the future of our neighborhoods.

  • Prioritize policies that comprise all of the following components in order to provide support for the culture and stability of residents: housing affordability, small businesses, nonprofit services, open spaces, jobs, entrepreneurial opportunities, and arts and cultural organizations and events.

“At Advancing Justice - Asian Law Caucus, we work arm-in-arm with community members and tenants rights advocates on community-centered and equitable land use policies for all San Francisco residents. We believe that everyone has a right to housing that is affordable, safe & healthy, and that people should be able to choose the type and location of their home. REP-SF is bringing together communities to build that future for us all.”

“The REP-SF Coalition presents a unique and powerful opportunity to both change and create new public policy that centers the voices, needs, and expertise of marginalized communities. With a city-wide coalition united under a collective vision for systemic change and self-determination, together we can create a city that is truly equitable.”

“We believe that the future of San Francisco as a culturally diverse, vibrant city depends on its capacity to protect tenants from displacement and neighborhoods from losing their character and their social and economic diversity. We know that rooted communities are stronger communities. Long-term, multi-generational relationships are a source of collective power and health, and foster a sense of belonging and responsibility to the places we love. The REP-SF coalition draws on this shared knowledge and power to advance a vision for a city where working class communities and communities of color can imagine a future here, together.”
