SPOSFI members have been invited to a panel discussion sponsored by the San
Francisco Housing Action Coalition (SFHAC) (www.sfhac.org) to address San
Francisco's Middle Class Housing Crisis. The featured speaker will be Henry
Cisneros, former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development under President Clinton and currently the Chairman of City View,
a firm that provides project financing and other support to build middle
class housing.
Their invitation:
"Middle-Income Housing How Can We Build It?"
One of the glaring weaknesses of the housing market in San Francisco is our
seeming inability to build homes for the increasingly stretched middle
class. These are families that cannot afford most new market-rate housing,
but are not eligible for subsidized housing. The San Francisco Housing Action
Coalition (SFHAC) is hosting a panel discussion to hear how other cities are
tackling this problem and whether those solutions can be applied here.
Public Forum and panel discussion to address SF's Middle Class Housing
Crisis

following the program in the Latino/Hispanic Community Meeting Room located
across the lobby from the Koret Auditorium.
