Tell the GAO to update inclusionary housing requirements |
|
Thursday, July 2, 2026 | 10am-11am
On Thursday, July 2 at 10:00 AM, the Government Audit & Oversight Committee will review, amend, and make a recommendation on the inclusionary ordinance to the full Board of Supervisors. This is the committee that decides what version of the bill the Board sees. The Board's final vote on July 22 will be on whatever the committee sends them — which makes this the moment our voices most directly shape the final legislation.
Public comment is 2 minutes per person. You don't need to be a policy expert. You need to be a constituent who wants more homes in San Francisco.
If you cannot make it, sign a letter in support! |

Repeal the SB 79 Plan |
|
San Francisco is way behind on its housing targets, but instead of working to get more homes built for current and future San Franciscans, the Board of Supervisors recently voted to ban new housing in parts of SOMA and the Mission—FOREVER. Earlier this year, California cleared the way for new housing close to transit like BART and Muni Metro with SB79. As a safeguard for urban industrial areas and the jobs that go with them, cities are allowed to exclude industrial zones from this new law.
But the Board of Supervisors is playing fast and loose with the law, excluding state and federal land they have no authority to zone. They even banned new housing where housing already exists.
Tell the supervisors this is no time to be playing games with the city’s future. |

Tell the Senate Judiciary: Vote YES on AB 1903! |
|
California's homeownership crisis isn't just about land costs or permitting delays. One of the biggest hidden barriers to building condos — the starter homes that middle-income families can actually afford — is a broken legal system that makes it nearly impossible to build them without facing costly, years-long litigation.
AB 1903 fixes that.
Right now, California's construction defect laws allow lawsuits to be filed before a builder has even had the chance to fix a problem. Claims can move forward without any actual damage. And even builders who do everything right — who repair defects promptly and completely — have no clear path to finality. The result: condo construction in California has dropped dramatically over the past two decades. Builders have stopped building the homes California's working families need most.
AB 1903, authored by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, gets the system back to basics. It requires the repair process to actually happen before litigation begins. It ensures claims are tied to real, documented damage. And it gives builders who invest in quality construction and complete repairs when problems arise a clear path to resolution.
The bill passed the California State Assembly 70 to 0. Now it needs the Senate to finish the job.
More condos means more pathways to homeownership for California families. Tell the Senator Judiciary to vote YES on AB 1903! |
