The purpose of this memo is to provide an update on the delivery of mandated reports for 2020 and a

forecast of reports expected to be delivered in 2021 and beyond. The Planning Department’s Data and

Analytics Group (“DAG”) is responsible for the data collection, analysis and delivery of a range of State

and locally mandated monitoring reports. The DAG team is currently operating at 67% capacity with two

vacant positions for a Housing Data Analyst (Planner II) and Senior Business Analyst (Business Analyst

1053). Due to evolving circumstances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic including the deployment of

DAG staff to serve as Disaster Service Workers (“DSW”) and providing data and analysis support for

ongoing COVID-19 recovery efforts, as well as the hiring freeze resulting from the projected budget

shortfalls which impacts the Department’s ability to fill the existing vacant DAG positions, significant

delays are expected on the delivery of locally-mandated reports.

Completed Reports. The following 2020 monitoring reports have been completed by their respective

mandated deadlines:

Note that the Jobs-Housing Fit Report is a newly mandated report that was legislated by the Board of

Supervisors half-way through the current Fiscal Year, on December 20, 2019. As a result, this report was

not in the Department’s current year FY19-20 work program and resources must be shifted to fulfill the

requirement this year. Moreover, this new report requires development of a new methodology and

assessment and analysis of available data, which requires additional time than long-standing reports with

established methodologies and data sources.

If DAG staffing shortages persist through subsequent DSW deployments and/or COVID-19 recovery

efforts, and the Department is not permitted to fill existing vacant DAG positions to perform the data

analysis, monitoring and reporting to meet both existing reporting obligations and the data needs of new

initiatives, policies, code amendments, State law and business processes, we expect compounding delays

that will significantly impact the delivery of mandated reports in 2021 and beyond and response times to

data requests.

Besides constraints in meeting mandated reporting requirements, ongoing staffing limitations would

severely limit efforts to modernize the Planning Department’s analytics capabilities, including undertaking

necessary staff training, investments in technologies and the development of analytics tools to improve

data collection, analysis, and forecasting, simplifying data access to critical information and improving

response times to data requests. In addition, data and analysis work needed to support long-range policy

initiatives will be impacted including support for the 2022 Housing Element, General Plan updates and

other Housing and Community Equity initiatives related to both COVID-19 recovery strategies and

addressing longstanding systemic challenges. Finally, as the Department begins to assess the data and

analysis work that will be required to support the expanding Racial and Social Equity Initiative, including

the development of outcomes-based metrics and defining data analysis and reporting requirements ,

existing DAG staffing levels are not adequate to meet all of these workload demands.

Consolidation Proposal. In order to meet the City's and Department's evolving needs and to provide

decision makers and the public with useful, sufficient and accurate information given available resources,

staff is developing a proposal to consolidate and improve reporting requirements. A first draft of this

proposal will be presented to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors in Q3 2020.

2019 HOUSING INVENTORY

The Planning Department is pleased to send you the recently published 2019 Housing Inventory. This report is the 50th in the series and describes changes to San Francisco’s housing stock. Housing Inventory data account for new housing construction, demolitions, and alterations in a consistent format for analysis of housing production trends. Net housing unit gains are reported citywide, by zoning classification, and by planning district. Other areas of interest covered in the report include affordable housing, condominium conversions, and residential hotel stock. In ad-dition, the report lists major projects completed, authorized for construction, approved or are un-der review by Planning. Key findings discussed in the 2019 Housing Inventory include:

• New housing production in 2019 totaled over 4,850 units. This includes 4,461 units in new construc-tion and 397 new units added through expansion of existing structures or conversions of non-residential. Most of new housing development occurred in the South of Market Planning District.

• A net total of 4,698 units were added to the San Francisco housing stock in 2019, an 82% increase from 2018. This net addition is the result of 160 units lost through demolition (139), unit mergers (3), and the removal of illegal units (18).

• Affordable housing units made up 30% of new units added to the City’s housing stock. The number of new affordable housing units built in 2019 – 1,456 units — is about 50% above the five-year aver-age (980 units). Inclusionary housing accounted for 405 — or about 28% of these affordable units. About 83% of the new affordable units are affordable to very-low and low-income households.

• Projects proposing a little over 2,900 new units were authorized for construction in 2019. In addi-tion, the Planning Department approved and fully entitled 554 projects with a total of 2,895 units.

five-year monitoring reports that detail housing production trends.

This report was prepared from information received from a number of different sources including the Department of Building Inspection, the Department of Public Works, and Planning Department records. The Mayor’s Office of Hous-ing and the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure (Successor Agency to the San Fran-cisco Redevelopment Agency) provided informa-tion on affordable housing projects. The California Homebuilding Foundation/Construction Industry Research Board provided building permit data for the Bay Area region. The California Association of Realtors provided housing rental and ownership costs. Project sponsors also contributed data.

Copies of this report can be downloaded from the Publications & Reports link at the Planning Department’s web site at http://www.sfplanning.org.

A limited number of copies are available for pur-chase from the Planning Department, 1650 Mission Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, CA 94103. Copies may also be reviewed at the Government Information Center on the fifth floor of the San Francisco Main Library.

The Housing Inventory is the Planning Depart-ment’s annual survey of housing production trends in San Francisco. The report details changes in the City’s housing stock, including housing construction, demolition, and alterations, and has been published regularly since 1967. This report is 50th in the series and presents housing production activity completed or authorized during the year 2019.

By monitoring changes in San Francisco’s housing stock, the Housing Inventory provides a basis for evaluating the housing production goals and poli-cies of the Housing Element of the San Francisco General Plan. Housing policy implications that may arise from data in this report, however, are not discussed here.

The Housing Inventory reports housing production, which begins when a building permit application for a project is filed with the City. The application is first reviewed by the Planning Department for compliance with the Planning Code, zoning, and other applicable policies. If the Planning Depart-ment approves the project, the Department of Building Inspection (DBI) reviews the application for compliance with the Building Code. If DBI approves the application, it issues a permit autho-rizing construction. The next step is for the project sponsor to begin construction on the project. Once construction has been completed and passed all required inspections, DBI issues a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) for the project.

The Housing Inventory also reports the annual net gain in housing units citywide by general Zoning Districts and by Planning Districts. Net gain is the number of newly constructed units with CFCs issued, adjusted for alterations – which can add or subtract units – and demolitions. Affordable housing, condominiums, and changes in the residential hotel stock are other areas of interest covered by the Housing Inventory. In addition, the report provides a regional perspective by examin-ing housing construction activity and home prices for the nine-county Bay Area region. Finally, major projects completed, authorized, under review, or in the pipeline are listed in Appendix A. The Hous-ing Inventory also summarizes housing production trends in the recently adopted planning areas in Appendix B. These plan areas have separate

Housing Production Process

The Housing Inventory describes net changes in the housing stock and details units that have been certified complete, units that were authorized for construction, and units that are under review by the Planning Department.

The housing production process begins with a project review by the Planning Department and ends with the issuance of a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) by the Department of Building Inspection (DBI). Figure 1 outlines the main stages of the housing production process.

Units Reviewed by Planning Department and DBI

For most major projects, review by the Planning Department is the first step in the process. Propos-als are reviewed by the Planning Department for compliance with the Planning Code, the General Plan, environmental requirements, and other regu-lations and policies. Generally, only major projects require special Planning Department approvals, such as a conditional use permit or variance. The number and type of projects undergoing Planning Department review are indicators of current build-ing interest and production expectation within the next two to five years. Following Planning Depart-ment approval and entitlements, the Department of Building Inspection (DBI) reviews the project for compliance with the Building Code.

Units Authorized for Construction

If DBI approves the project following its own review, it issues building permits authorizing construction. Projects with approved building permits generally start construction within 90

days from the date the permit is issued. Start of construction, however, may be delayed for up to a year. If the permit is not picked up or acted on within 90 days, the permit expires. The number of units authorized for construction is a key indicator of future housing construction.

Units Certified Complete

Projects are inspected by DBI at various stages throughout the construction process. However, inspectors only issue Certificates of Final Comple-tions (CFCs) for projects that are deemed 100% complete. Units certified complete are an indicator of changes to the City’s housing supply and include units gained or lost from new construction, alterations, and demolitions.

For the purposes of this report, however, units that have received Temporary Certificates of Occu-pancy (TCOs) or “Final Inspection Approval” from the Department of Building Inspection are also considered and counted as completed units.

Housing production is measured in terms of units rather than projects because the number of units in a project varies. Not all projects reviewed or approved are built. A project’s building permit application may be withdrawn, disapproved, or revised; its permit may also expire if, for example, a project is not financed. Housing production is also affected by changes in market conditions and the economy. However, once building construction starts, a project is usually completed within one to two years, depending on the size of the project.

In 2019, affordable housing production totaled 1,456 units, which is over twice the number of affordable housing units produced in 2018. This is also almost 50% above the five-year average of 980 affordable units. These new affordable units made up 30% of new units added to the City’s housing stock. This count includes approximately 405 inclusionary units and 177 accessory dwelling units. About 83% of the new affordable units are affordable to very-low and low-income households.

In 2019, over 2,900 units were authorized for construction, representing a 52% decrease from 2018. New housing authorized for construction over the past five years continues to be over-whelmingly (86%) for buildings with 20 or more units. The Planning Department approved and fully entitled 554 projects in 2019. These projects propose a total of 2,895 units.

The construction of new housing in 2019 totaled over 4,850 units, which represents a 81% increase from 2018. This past year’s production represents the second-highest production total in the past twenty years. This production includes 4,461 units in new construction and 397 new units added through conversion of non-residential uses or expansion of existing structures. One hundred and sixty units were lost, including demolitions (139), unit mergers (3), and removal of illegal units (18). The city experienced a 4% increase in units added through alterations and a 64% decrease in units lost through alterations since 2018.

There was a net addition of 4,698 units to the City’s housing stock in 2019, an 82% increase from 2018’s net addition. The net addition in 2019 is also about 68% higher than the 10-year average net addition of 2,801, and signifies a higher year of production than seen in the recent past. By the end of 2019, there were approxi-mately 399,300 dwelling units in the city.

Actual Production, 2015-2022

The State Department of Housing and Community Development, along with the Association of Bay Area Governments set the regional housing needs allocation or RHNA targets for housing production in every county in the Bay Area. Sixty percent of RHNA targets are required to be afford-able to households with varying incomes. Over 28,000 net new housing units have been allocated to San Francisco for the years 2015-2022. The number of units produced as of 2019 are shown in the pie chart.

5%

Actual production totals are not submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development as progress towards RHNA. Building permits authorized count as progress towards RHNA. For the purposes of this report only, actual production is shown in comparison to RHNA goals.

*Although market rate housing production is above the RHNA goal for that income level, 100% is shown here to indicate that the goal has been met. The total percentage of target achieved reflects that as well.

Housing Stock

The number of units in San Francisco’s housing stock is derived by taking the total units from the decennial census count as baseline, then adding net unit change each subsequent year until the next census. Because the 2010 Census did not collect detailed housing characteristics, the 2015 Housing Inventory used data from the 2010 Five Year American Community Survey (2010 ACS5), and the 2019 Housing Inventory uses this calculation as a baseline for consistency. Annual net unit change – the sum of units completed from new construction and alterations minus units lost from demolition and alterations – are added to this 2010 ACS5 baseline count.

According to the 2010 ACS5 and new production over the last nine years, there are about 399,313 housing units in San Francisco, distributed between single family units (31%), moderate

density buildings (two to nine units – 30%), and higher density structures (10 or more units – 39%). This distribution is similar over the last nine years and will likely change in the next few years as the trend has been moving towards increasingly larger buildings, as presented in Table 11.

In 2019, there was a net gain of 4,698 units in the City’s housing stock. As of December 2019, units in buildings with 20 or more units comprised 30% of the City’s total housing. Of all units added since the 2010 ACS5, about 92% have been in buildings with 20 units or more.

Table 1 provides a profile of San Francisco’s housing stock by building type from 2010 through 2019. Figure 2 illustrates San Francisco’s housing stock by building type for 2019.

» New construction unit totals for 2019 – 4,461 – is a 93% increase from 2018. New construc-tion in 2019 is 69% above the 10-year aver-age of 2,642 new construction units.

» Alterations resulted in 397 units added through conversion or expansion of existing structures, and the addition or legalization of accessory dwelling units. However, 21 units were lost due to removal of illegal units and mergers. This means a net total of 376 units were added to the housing stock through “alterations” of existing units or buildings. This is a 16% increase from the 323 net units added in 2018 as a result of alterations.

» One hundred and thirty-nine units were demol-ished in 2019.

» In 2019, net addition to the City’s housing stock increased by 82% from 2018. This 2019 net new unit count of 4,698 is also 68% above the 10-year average of 2,801 net new units.

» Affordable units made up 30% of new units built in 2019. The number of affordable units built in 2019 is more than twice the number of affordable units built in 2018.

» In 2019, the Department of Building Inspec-tion (DBI) authorized 2,944 units for construc-tion. This represents a 52% decrease from the number of units authorized in 2018 (6,097).

Table 2 and the figure on page six show housing production trends over the past 20 years. The table and figure account for net new units gained – which is the number of units newly constructed and adjusted for alterations, which can add or subtract units, and demolitions.

Three of the largest projects completed in 2019 include: 245 1st Street (548 market-rate units and 149 low-income affordable inclusionary units), 510 Folsom Street (545 market rate units and 109 low-income affordable inclusionary units), and 600 Minnesota Street (318 student housing units).

The 2500 Arelious Walker Drive development (100% affordable, with 121 very low-income units and one manager’s unit) and 1150 3rd Street (100% affordable, with 118 low-income units) are two major affordable housing projects completed in 2019.

A list of all market rate projects with ten units or more completed in 2019 is included in Appendix A-1. Appendix A-2 includes all major affordable housing projects completed in 2019.

Projects Approved and Under Review by Planning

Depending on the type of project, there are vari-ous approvals by the Planning Department that a project needs to be fully entitled. Full entitlement of a project means that the project sponsor can proceed with the next step in the development process: securing approval and issuance of a building permit.

» In 2019, 535 projects with 3,924 total units were filed with the Planning Department. This is a 24% decrease from the number of projects filed in 2018 and is about 25% below the five-year average of 5,274 units.

» The Planning Department approved and fully entitled 521 projects in 2019. These projects propose a total of 2,799 units. Two of the larger projects filed in 2019 include: 655 4th Street (957 total units) and 1064 Mission Street (254 total units).

Table 3 shows the number of housing projects filed with the Planning Department over the last five years. Units filed at the Planning Department is defined as the number of units associated with applications that have been fully completed and accepted for review. It is important to note that Planning may not approve all projects under review or may not approve projects at the unit lev-els requested. Project sponsors may also change or withdraw the project proposals. Some projects listed in Table 3 as undergoing Planning Depart-ment review may have reached their approval stage, been authorized for construction, or may have been completed. Lastly, many of the housing projects under development by the Office of Com-munity Investment and Infrastructure (OCII) or other agencies with their own entitlement process do not show up in Table 3 because those agencies are responsible for the review of those projects.

Appendix A-3 records major projects (10 units or more) that received Planning entitlements in 2019. Appendix A-4 contains a list of the major projects filed at the Planning Department for review during 2019.

Units Authorized for Construction

» In 2019, DBI authorized 2,944 units for con-struction, 52% less than in 2018. This number is also about 35% below the five-year average (4,563).

» There were more projects authorized in 2019: 556 compared to 504 projects in 2018. In 2019, the average project size was 5 units, which below the the average project size for the five years between 2015 and 2019 (11).

Table 4 summarizes the number of projects and units by building type authorized for construction by the Department of Building Inspection (DBI).

» Majority of the units authorized for construction in 2019 (86%) are in projects with 20 units or more.

» Major projects authorized for construction during the reporting year include: 434 Minna Street (302 units); 1270 Mission Street (299 units); and 1068 Mission Street (254 units).

Appendix A-5 lists all projects with ten or more units authorized for construction in 2019.

Demolitions

» A total of 139 units were demolished in 2019.

» The demolition of the 139 units in 2019 is 162% above the five-year demolition average of 53 units. This increase is the result of demolition permits pulled for rehabilitation of public housing.

Table 5 shows the units demolished between 2015 and 2019 by building type and Table 6 shows the demolitions in 2019 by Zoning District.

It should be noted that city policies require a minimum of one to one replacement of demol-ished housing.

Alterations and Conversions

The majority of building permits issued by DBI are for residential alterations. These alteration permits are for improvements within existing buildings or dwelling units. Some alterations expand the building envelope without increasing the number of units in the building. The Housing Inventory is primarily concerned with alterations which result in a net loss or gain in the total number of units in the housing stock.

Dwelling units are gained by additions to existing housing structures, conversions to residential use, and legalization of illegal units. Dwelling units are lost by merging separate units into larger units, by conversion to commercial use, or by the removal of illegal units.

The net gain of 376 units from alterations in 2019 is comprised of 397 units added and 21 units eliminated.

» Units gained through alterations increased 4% from the previous year – 397 units in 2019 compared to 381 units in 2018.

» 284 units of alterations in 2019 are new accessory dwelling units or legalized secondary units.

» Of the 21 units lost through alteration in 2019, 18 were illegal units removed and three units were lost due to mergers. This represents a 64% decrease in units lost through alterations from 2018 (58).

Table 7 shows the number of units added or eliminated through alteration permits from 2015 to 2019. Table 8 profiles the type of alterations and demolitions that caused the loss of units dur-ing the same period.

» The net total of 160 units lost in 2019 due to demolition or alteration is 44% more than the net total lost in 2018.

Accessory Dwelling Units

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), also known as secondary units, in-law units, or cottages, are independent dwelling units added to existing residential buildings. ADUs are subordinate to the primary residential unit(s), generally due to the location or size of the ADU. These units can either be developed within the existing building, as an extension to the existing building, or as an entirely separate structure.

As part of an effort to address growing housing demands, the ADU program offers homeowners and contractors a way to add a unit to an exist-ing residential building. By legally adding a unit, a homeowner potentially subsidizes their mortgage by creating a rental apartment, or enables the creation of a multi-generational household.

A property owner or landlord can also turn under-utilized spaces within an existing apartment building into additional dwelling units, and as a result, increase housing options for residents.

» In 2019, 177 ADUs were completed. One hundred and twenty-one ADUs were added in buildings with two to four units, and 149 ADUs were added in building with five or more units.

The legalization program also allows legalizations of existing ADUs without any prior evidence. This voluntary program allows property owners to for-mally register and rent their unwarranted units in San Francisco, and to ensure that each unit meets safety conditions.

» In 2019, 93 illegal secondary units were legalized through the legalization program. Approximately 83% of these legalized units were in buildings with two to four units.

Table 9 shows the number of ADUs added and Table 9A shows the number of ADUs legalized in 2019. Table 10 shows the number of ADUs added and legalized by building type in 2019.

S a n F r a n c i s c o H o u s i n g I n v e n t o r y | 2019

Additional Units Proposed Through Density Bonus Programs

The California State Density Bonus Law offers development incentives to projects that provide on-site affordable housing. In 2017, the City established the Individually Requested State Density Bonus Program, which incorporates additional requirements and standards for local implementation of the State Program. The housing project utilizing this program must comply with the Inclusionary Affordable Housing Requirement, but the project may only seek a bonus at a single income level. The State Program offers projects the right to receive up to three incentives or concessions that are required to provide for afford-able housing costs. A concession or incentive can be a reduction in site development standards, or a modification of zoning code requirements, approval of mixed-use zoning, or other regulatory conessions or incentivies.

HOME-SF is an optional local density bonus program that may be used by applicants in lieu of the State Program to construct mixed-income projects with a higher percentage of inclusionary units in certain areas of San Francisco. Under this program, 20 to 30 percent of the units in a new housing project must be affordable to low, middle, and moderate-income families. To provide more family friendly housing, 40 percent of the total units in the building must be two bedrooms or larger. In return, density bonuses and zoning modifications are provided, thus allowing project sponsors to accommodate additional affordable units.

As of December 2019, all density bonus projects filed with the Planning Department are in stages of Planning review or have had a building permit issued. None of the projects have been completed and do not count towards units added to the hous-ing production in year 2019.

» As of December 2019, 55 projects were in the pipeline for the State Density Bonus Program. These projects propose adding 6,113 units to the housing stock.

» As of December 2019, 15 projects were in the pipeline for the HOME-SF Density Bonus Program. These projects propose adding 686 units to the housing stock.

Table 11 on the following page shows the number of units associated with density bonus projects in the pipeline. Table 12 on the following page shows the number of projects in different stages of application as of late 2019. Table A-6 in Appendix A lists the density bonus projects in the pipeline and any associated waivers or incentives and concessions.

New Housing Unit Trends

New construction and residential conversions are the primary engine behind changes to the housing stock. This section examines units added to the housing stock over the past five years by looking at the types of buildings and the Zoning Districts where they occurred. For 2019, this section examines all units added to the housing stock including ADUs, not just those added through new construction.

Types of Buildings

» New housing units added over the past five years continues to be overwhelmingly (90%) in buildings with 20 or more units.

» Ninety-three single-family units were added in 2019, 150% more than the previous year’s addition. Single-family building construction made up a very small proportion of new con-struction in the past five years (1.5%).

» More units were added in the “Single Family” and “2 Units” categories than in the previous four years (93 and 171 units added respec-tively in 2019).

» The share of units added in high-density build-ings (20 or more units) —89%— is just below than the five-year average of 90%.

Table 13 on the opposite page shows new construction from 2015 through 2019 by building type.

New Housing Units Added by Zoning District

Approximately 56% of units added in 2019 were in Mixed Use zoning districts. Residential, House and Mixed zoning districts contributed 40%, and Public zoning districts followed with 3% of total units added.

Table 14 summarizes new units added in 2019 by generalized Zoning Districts. Table 15 lists the number of units constructed in various Zoning Dis-tricts in the City. A complete list of San Francisco’s Zoning Districts is included in Appendix C.

Annual condo-minium totals recorded by DPW do not directly correlate with annual units completed and counted as part of the Housing Inventory because DPW’s records may be for projects not yet completed or from projects completed in a previous year. Large multi-unit developments also file for condominium subdivision when they are first built even though the units may initially be offered for rent. Condo-minium construction, like all real estate, is subject to market forces and varies from year to year.

New Condominiums Recorded

» New condominiums recorded in 2019 increased to 4,327 units from 3,123 units in 2018 (an increase of 39%).

» Approximately 96% of the condominiums recorded were in buildings with 20 or more units (4,139 units which represented a 39% increase from 2018).

Table 16 shows construction of new condomini-ums recorded by DPW over the past ten years and Table 17 shows new condominium construction by building type over the past five years.

Condominium Conversions

The San Francisco Subdivision Code regulates condominium conversions. Since 1983, conver-sions of units from rental to condominium have been limited to 200 units per year and to build-ings with six or fewer units. More than 200 units may be recorded in a given year because units approved in a previous year may be recorded in a subsequent year. The 200-unit cap on conver-sions can also be bypassed for two-unit buildings with owners occupying both units.

» Condominium conversions increased by 103% in 2019 (387 from 191 conversions in 2018). This number is 15% lower than the 10-year average of 455 units.

» About 61% of units converted in 2019 occurred in two-unit buildings, followed by 18% occurring in three-unit buildings.

» Eighty percent of the condominium conversions in 2019 (307) were in buildings with two or three units, a trend repeated from 2014 through 2018.

Table 18 shows the number of conversions recorded by DPW from 2010-2019. Table 19 shows condominium conversions by building type over the past five years.

Residential Hotels

Residential hotels in San Francisco are regulated by Administrative Code Chapter 41 – the Residen-tial Hotel Conversion and Demolition Ordinance (HCO), enacted in 1981. The Department of Building Inspection (DBI) Housing Inspection Services Division administers the HCO. This ordinance preserves the stock of residential hotels and regulates the conversion and demolition of residential hotel units.

Table 20 reports the number of residential hotel buildings and units for both for-profit and nonprofit residential hotels from 2015 through 2019.

» As of 2019, 19,199 residential hotel rooms are registered in San Francisco; 65% are resi-dential rooms in for-profit residential hotels and 35% are residential in non-profit hotels.

Affordable Housing

Standards and Definitions of AffordabilityAffordable housing by definition is housing that is either rented or owned at prices affordable to households with low to moderate incomes. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) determines the thresholds by household size for these incomes for the San Francisco HUD Metro Fair Market Rent Area (HMFA). The HMFA includes San Francisco, Marin, and San Mateo counties. The standard definitions for housing affordability by income level are as follows:

Extremely low income: Units affordable to house-holds with incomes at or below 30% of the HUD median income for the San Francisco HFMA;

Very low income: Units affordable to households with incomes at or below 50% of the HUD median income for the San Francisco HFMA;

Lower income: Units affordable to households with incomes at or below 60% of the HUD median income for the San Francisco HFMA;

Low income: Units affordable to households with incomes at or below 80% of the HUD median income for the San Francisco HFMA,

Moderate income: Units affordable to households with incomes at or below 120% of the HUD median income for the San Francisco HFMA; and

Market rate: Units at prevailing prices without any affordability requirements. Market rate units generally exceed rental or ownership affordability levels, although some small market rate units may be priced at levels that are affordable to moderate income households.

Housing affordability for units is calculated as follows:

Affordable rental unit: A unit for which rent equals 30% of the income of a household with an income at or below 80% of the HUD median income for the San Francisco HFMA, utilities included.

Affordable ownership unit: A unit for which the mortgage payments, PMI (principal mortgage insurance), property taxes, homeowners dues, and insurance equal 33% of the gross monthly income of a household earning between 80% and 120% of the San Francisco HFMA median income (assuming a 10% down payment and a 30-year 8% fixed rate loan).

Inclusionary Affordable Housing Program —Ownership Units: These are units for which the mortgage payments, PITI (principal, interest, taxes and insurance), and homeowners association dues equal less than 38% of the gross monthly income of a household earning between 80% and 120% of the San Francisco HFMA median income (assuming a 5% down payment and a 30-year fixed mortgage at the current market interest rate).

Inclusionary Affordable Housing Program — Rental Units: These units are rental units for households earning between 28% and 60% of Area Median Income.

Tables 21 and 22 show the incomes and prices for affordable rental and ownership units based on 2019 HUD income limits.

New Affordable Housing Construction

» About 1,456 affordable units were completed in 2019, representing 30% of the new housing units added in 2019. Of these, 405 are new inclusionary units, and 177 are new accessory dwelling units (ADUs).

» The number of affordable units built in 2019 (1,456) is 49% higher than the five year aver-age of affordable units built (980 units).

» Very low-income units represented 60% of the new affordable units that were constructed in 2019; low-income units made up 23%, and moderate income units made up about 17%.

Table 23 shows the production of affordable hous-ing by levels of affordability and Table 24 shows new affordable housing by type. These numbers do not include affordable units that result from acquiring and rehabilitating residential buildings by nonprofit housing organizations. Those units are covered later in the report.

» The number of new affordable units (1,456) produced in 2019 was 125% higher than in 2018 (645).

» A total of 177 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) were added to existing residential build-ings. Typically, these are smaller units and are sometimes referred to as secondary or “granny” units. These are also usually affordable to households with moderate incomes, however, these units are not income-restricted.

Major affordable housing projects completed in 2019 include: 2500 Arelious Walker Drive development (121 very low-income units and one manager’s unit) and 1150 3rd Street (118 low-income units and one manager’s unit), 210 Taylor Street (112 low-income units and one manager’s unit), and 455 Fell Street (107 low-income units and one manager’s unit).

All major (10 or more units) new affordable housing projects completed in 2019 are detailed in Appendix A-2. On-site affordable inclusionary units are listed under major market rate projects in Appendix A-1. Affordable housing projects under construction, or in pre-construction or preliminary planning with either the Mayor’s Office of Housing or the Office of Community Investment and Infra-structure are presented in Appendix A-7.

Inclusionary Housing

In 1992, the Planning Commission adopted guidelines for applying the City’s Inclusionary Affordable Housing Policy. This policy required housing projects with 10 or more units that seek a conditional use (CU) permit or planned unit devel-opment (PUD) to set aside a minimum of 10% of their units as affordable units. In 2002, the Board of Supervisors legislated these guidelines into law and expanded the requirement to all projects with 10 or more units. In condominium developments, the inclusionary affordable ownership units would be available to households earning up to 100% of the AMI; below market inclusionary rental units are affordable to households earning 60% or less of the area median income (AMI). If a housing project required a conditional use permit, then 12% of the units would need to be made available at the same levels of affordability.

In 2006, the inclusionary requirements were increased to 15% if units were constructed on-site, and to 20% if constructed off-site and is applicable to projects of five units or more. In 2013, the inclusionary requirements were changed back to projects with 10 or more units and the on-site requirement went back down to 12%. In August 2017, the inclusionary require-ments were changed to 12% of on-site units for projects with 10 to 24 units, and 18% on-site for rental projects with 25 units or more and 20% on-site for ownership projects with 25 units or more. For projects within the Mission Planning

Area, North of Market Residential SUD (Tender-loin), and SoMa NCT (6th Street), the inclusionary requirements will be as follows: 25% on-site for rental, 27% on-site for ownership in projects with 25 or more units.These increases will apply to new projects without an environmental evaluation initial study on or after January 12th, 2016. Table 25 shows inclusionary units completed from 2015 to 2019.

» Four hundred and five inclusionary units were completed in 2019. Three hundred and fifty-seven of these units are very low- and low-income units, and 48 are moderate income units.

» In 2019, the number of inclusionary units built (405) represented a 149% increase from that provided in 2018 (163). The number of inclusionary housing units built in 2019 is also 17% above than the five-year annual average of 345 units.

Appendix A-1 provides a complete list of projects with ten or more units constructed in 2019 and details of inclusionary units for those projects that have them.

In Fiscal Year 2019, a total of $31 million was collected as partial payments of in-lieu fees for projects. Appendix D is a summary of in-lieu fees collected since 2010.

Affordability of Market Rate Housing

The San Francisco Bay Area remains one of the nation’s most expensive housing markets, despite median rents decreasing minimally since 2016.

» In 2019, median rental prices for a two-bedroom apartment in San Francisco decreased slightly to $4,500 per month. The fairly small rent price fluctuations between the years 2015 and 2019 suggest that rent trends are begin-ning to flatten.

» The 2019 median rental price for a two-bedroom apartment in San Francisco is 42% higher than the median rental price for the entire Bay Area.

» In 2019, the median price for a two-bedroom home in San Francisco decreased to $1,450,000. This price is 8% lower than the 2018 median home price ($1,573,000).

» A San Francisco family of three with a combined household income that is 110% of the HUD median income (a household which can afford a maximum sales price of $491,126 according to Table 20) would fall about $950,000 short of being able to purchase a median-priced two-bedroom home ($1,450,000).

» A three-person household with a combined household income at 80% of the median income could pay a maximum rent of $2,134 (according to Table 19) or only about 47% of the median rent ($4,500).

Table 26 gives rental and sales prices for 2015 through 2019. The high cost of housing continues to prevent households earning less than the median income from being able to purchase or rent a median-priced home in San Francisco.

Affordable Housing Acquisition and Rehabilitation

Acquisition and rehabilitation involves non-profit housing organizations purchasing existing residen-tial buildings in order to rehabilitate units for low- and very low-income persons. Table 27 shows units that have been rehabilitated through funding by the Mayor’s Office of Housing (MOH) and the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure (OCII). Often it is more economical to purchase and rehabilitate existing units than to build new units. While many of these units are residential hotel (single room occupancy or SRO) units, acquisition and rehabilitation also includes homes for residential care providers, apartments for fami-lies, and conversions of commercial or industrial buildings for homeless persons and families. The Housing Inventory reports units in such projects as adding to the housing stock only when new units are created as a result of the rehabilitation.

» In 2019, the Mayor’s Office of Housing and the Office of Community Investment and Infrastruc-ture rehabilitated 181 units.

The Mayor’s Office of Housing implemented the first phase of the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program in 2015. RAD is a voluntary, permanent conversion of public housing to the Section 8 housing program. Since 2016, 3,443 units of public housing properties were transferred to owner/developer teams to rehabilitate. TABLE 27. Units Acquired or Rehabilitated, 2015–2019

Changes in Housing Stock by Geography

This section discusses the City’s housing stock by geography. Map 1 shows San Francisco‘s 15 Planning Districts.

Table 28 summarizes newly constructed units completed, altered units, and units demolished in each Planning District. The table also ranks each Planning District by its position for each of the ratings categories.

» The South of Market Planning District had the most new construction in 2019 with 2,847 units built or 64% of the total new construc-tion. Moreover, with no units lost though demolition and an additional 22 net units added through conversion or alteration, it also had the highest net gain with 2,869 net new units or 61% of net new addition Citywide.

» The Mission (353 net new housing units) and Western Addition (277 net new housing units) Planning Districts followed South of Market in the highest net new housing units added Citywide.

» The South Central Planning District had the highest number of units demolished, with 124 units lost or about 89% of the total 139 units that were demolished in 2019.

» The South Central Planning District gained the least number of units in 2019, adding 85 units but losing 124 housing unit through demoli-tion, resulting in a net loss of 39 units to the housing stock.

Figure 3 on the following page shows total new housing constructed and demolished by San Francisco Planning Districts in 2019.

Appendix A: Project Lists

This Appendix details major projects in various stages of the planning or construction process: projects under Planning Department review, projects that have been authorized for construction by the Department of Building Inspection, and projects that have been completed. A project’s status changes over time. During a reporting period, a project may move from approved to under construction or from under construction to completed. Similarly, a project may change from rental to condominiums, or vice versa, before a project is completed or occupied.

Table A-1 details major market-rate housing proj-ects with ten or more units that were completed in 2019. This list also includes the number of inclusionary units in the project.

Table A-2 is comprised of major affordable hous-ing projects with twenty or more units that were completed in 2019.

Table A-3 provides information for all projects with twenty or more units that were fully entitled by the Planning Department in 2019. These projects typically require either a conditional use permit, environmental review, or some other type of review by the Planning Commission or Zoning Administrator, or the Environmental Review Officer.

Table A-4 provides information for all projects with ten or more units that were filed with the Planning Department in 2019. These projects require a conditional use permit, environmental review, or other types of review by the Planning Commission, Zoning Administrator, or the Environ-mental Review Officer. This list does not include projects submitted for informal Planning project review and for which no applications have been filed, and only includes fully complete applications accepted for review by the Planning Department.

Table A-5 contains residential projects with ten or more units authorized for construction by DBI in 2019.

Table A-6 contains residential projects proposing to utilize a density bonus program.

Table A-7 is an accounting of affordable housing projects in the “pipeline”— projects that are under construction, or in pre-construction or preliminary planning with either the Mayor’s Office of Hous-ing or the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure.

Table A-8 details 2019 housing production in Analysis Neighborhoods as defined by San Fran-cisco Indicator Project (DPH).

Appendix B: Planning Area Annual Monitoring

Tables in Appendix B have been added to the Housing Inventory to comply in part with the requirements of Planning Code §341.2 and Administrative Code 10E.2 to track housing devel-opment trends in the recently-adopted community area plans. These plan areas also have separate monitoring reports that discusses housing produc-tion trends in these areas in greater detail.

Table B-1 details 2019 housing trends in recently adopted planning areas.

Table B-2 summarizes the units entitled by the Planning Department in 2019 by planning areas.

Table B-3 summarizes units gained from new construction in 2019 by planning areas.

Table B-4 summarizes units demolished in 2019 by planning areas.

Table B-5 summarizes units lost through altera-tions and demolitions in 2019 by planning areas.

Table B-6 summarizes affordable housing projects for 2019 in planning areas.

Appendix E: Glossary

Affordable Housing Unit: A housing unit – owned or rented – at a price affordable to low- and middle-income households. An affordable rental unit is one for which rent equals 30% of the income of a household with an income at or below 80% of the HUD median income for the San Francisco PMSA, utilities included. An affordable ownership unit is one for which the mortgage payments, PMI, property taxes, homeowners dues, and insurance equal 33% of the gross monthly income of a household earning between 80% and 120% of the San Francisco PMSA median income, assuming a 10% down pay-ment and a 30-year, 8% fixed-rate loan.

Alterations: Improvements and enhancements to an existing building. At DBI, building permit applications for alterations use Forms 3 and 8. If you are not demolishing an existing building (Form 6) or newly constructing a new building (Forms 1 and 2), you are “altering” the building.

Certificate of Final Completion (CFC): A document issued by DBI that attests that a building is safe and sound for human occupancy.

Conditional Use Permit: A permit that is only granted with the consent of the Planning Commis-sion, and not as of right.

Condominium: A building or complex in which units of property, such as apartments, are owned by individuals and common parts of the property, such as the grounds and building structure, are owned jointly by all of the unit owners.

Current dollars: The dollar amount for a given period or year not adjusted for inflation. In the case of income, it is the income amount in the year in which a person or household receives it. For example, the income someone received in 1989 unadjusted for inflation is in current dollars.

General Plan: Collection of Objectives, Policies, and Guidelines to direct guide the orderly and prudent use of land.

HMFA: HUD Metro FMR (Fair Market Rent) Area an urbanized county or set of counties with strong social and economic ties to neighboring communities. PMSAs are identified within areas of one million-plus populations.Housing Unit: A dwelling unit that can be a single family home, a unit in a multi-unit building or complex, or a unit in a residential hotel.

Inclusionary Housing Units: Housing units made affordable to lower- and moderate-income house-holds as a result of legislation or policy requiring market rate developers to include or set aside a percentage (usually 10% to 20%) of the total hous-ing development to be sold or rented at below market rates (BMR). In San Francisco, this is usually 15%, and it applies to most newly constructed housing developments containing five or more dwelling units.

Median Income: The median divides the household income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the households falling below the median household income and one-half above the median.

Pipeline: All pending development projects – filed, approved or under construction. Projects are considered to be “in the pipeline” from the day they are submitted for review with the Planning Department, the Redevelopment Agency (SFRA), or the Department of Building Inspections (DBI), until the day the project is issued a Certificate of Final Completion by DBI.

Planning Code: A local law prescribing how and for what purpose each parcel of land in a community may be used.

Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA): A PMSA is an urbanized county or set of counties with strong social and economic ties to neighboring com-munities. PMSAs are identified within areas of one million-plus populations.

Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Units: Residential hotel rooms, typically occupied by one person, lack-ing bathroom and/or kitchen facilities.

Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO): Like a CFC, a TCO allows occupancy of a building pending final inspection.

SUMMARY

This report is submitted in compliance with Ordinance No. 53-15 requiring the Planning Department to monitor and report on the housing balance between new market rate and new affordable housing production. One of the stated purposes of the Housing Balance is “to ensure that data on meeting affordable housing targets Citywide and within neighborhoods informs the approval process for new housing development.” This report is the tenth in the series and covers the ten-year period from 1 January 2010 through 31 December 2019. The report is published twice annually in April and October.

The ordinance defines the “Housing Balance” as the proportion of all new affordable housing units to the total number of all new housing units for a 10-year “Housing Balance Period”, accounting for any loss of units removed from “protected status.”1 In addition, the reporting must include a calculation of “Projected Housing Balance” which is focused exclusively on forward-looking housing production and includes residential projects that have received approvals from the Planning Commission or Planning Department, including projects under construction, permitted for construction, and those entitled but that have not yet received permits to commence construction.

In the 2010 Q1 -2019 Q4 Housing Balance Period, the Cumulative Housing Balance is 21.5%, which is higher than the previous period (20.5% for 2009Q3 – 2019 Q2). The expanded Citywide Cumulative Housing Balance is 28.6%, although this varies by Supervisor district. Distribution of the expanded Cumulative Housing Balance over the 11 Board of Supervisor Districts ranges from -178% (District 4) to 68% (District 5). This variation, especially with negative housing balances, is due to the larger number of units permanently withdrawn from

1 Units under “protected status” include units that are subject to rent control under the City’s Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance.

rent control protection relative to the number of total net new units and net affordable units built in those districts.

The Projected Housing Balance Citywide is 22.7%, which is slightly higher than the previous 10-year period. The ordinance specifically directs the exclusion of master planned multi-phase development projects from the projected housing balance calculations until site permits are obtained. In addition to three named projects in the ordinance (Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island, Candlestick Point/Hunters Point Shipyard, and Parkmerced), another six master planned development projects were identified for exclusion as well: Pier 70, HopeSF (Potrero and Sunnydale), India Basin, Schlage Lock, and Mission Rock. Remaining phases from all eight projects will yield an additional 31,520 net new units, of which 23% (or about 7,101 units) would be affordable to low- and moderate-income households.

The Projected Housing Balance methodology as required by the ordinance is not necessarily an accurate predictor of current or future affordable housing production as it does not account for the expected (but not yet entitled or permitted) affordable housing projects with funding either in hand or expected by the City. Examples of these projects include those funded through inclusionary fees paid by housing projects otherwise included in the Balance calculation, jobs-housing linkage fees paid by commercial development, voter-approved bonds, and other sources of funding. For the past ten years, affordable housing production has accounted for 26% of overall production. As of 2019 Q4, 25% of units that have received approved permits from DBI or are currently under construction will be affordable.

BACKGROUND

On 21 April 2015, the Board of Supervisors passed Ordinance No. 53-15 amending the Planning Code to include a new Section 103 requiring the Planning Department to monitor and report on the Housing Balance between new market rate housing and new affordable housing production. The Housing Balance Report will be submitted bi-annually by April 1 and October 1 of each year and will also be published on a visible and accessible page on the Planning Department’s website. Planning Code Section 103 also requires an annual hearing at the Board of Supervisors on strategies for achieving and maintaining the required housing balance in accordance with the City’s housing production goals. (See Appendix A for complete text of Ordinance No. 53-15.) This hearing typically accompanies the April report.

The stated purposes for the Housing Balance Monitoring and Reporting are: a) to maintain a balance between new affordable and market rate housing Citywide and within neighborhoods; b) to make housing available for all income levels and housing need types; c) to preserve the mixed-income character of the City and its neighborhoods; d) to offset the withdrawal of existing housing units from rent stabilization and the loss of single-room occupancy hotel units; e) to ensure the availability of land and encourage the deployment of resources to provide sufficient housing affordable to households of very low, low, and moderate incomes; f) to ensure adequate housing for families, seniors and the disabled communities; g) to ensure that data on meeting

affordable housing targets Citywide and within neighborhoods informs the approval process for new housing development; and h) to enable public participation in determining the appropriate mix of new housing approvals.

Housing production targets adopted by the state and the Association of Bay Area Governments, and reflected in the City’s Housing Element, last adopted in April 2015, calls for a minimum of 28,870 new units to be built in San Francisco between 2015 and 2022, including a minimum of 16,333 affordable units (57%2 of the total). As mandated by law, the City provides the State Department of Housing and Community Development an annual progress report.3 In addition, in November 2014, San Francisco’s voters endorsed Proposition K, which set as city policy a goal to help construct or rehabilitate at least 30,000 homes by 2020, at least 33% of which will be affordable to low- and moderate-income households. 4 While the Housing Balance Report is intended to supplement analysis towards adopted City housing goals, the report and its calculations do not specifically track performance toward meeting goals set by the City’s Housing Element/RHNA and Proposition K and are not comparable because the metrics and methodologies differ.

This Housing Balance Report was prepared from data gathered from other published sources including the Planning Department’s annual Housing Inventory and quarterly Pipeline Report data, San Francisco Rent Board data, and data from the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development.

2 The Ordinance inaccurately stated that “22% of new housing demands to be affordable to households of moderate means”; San Francisco’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation for moderate in-come households is 19% of total production goals. 3 Printed annual progress reports submitted by all California jurisdictions can be accessed here – http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/annual-progress-reports/index.php .-- or by calling HCD at 916-263-2911 for the latest reports as many jurisdictions now file reports online. 4 For tracking of the Prop K affordable housing goal, see https://sfmohcd.org.

CUMULATIVE HOUSING BALANCE CALCULATION

Planning Code Section 103 calls for the Housing Balance “be expressed as a percentage, obtained by dividing the cumulative total of extremely low, very low, low, and moderate income affordable housing (all units 0-120% AMI) minus the lost protected units, by the total number of net new housing units within the Housing Balance Period.” The ordinance requires that the “Cumulative Housing Balance” be provided using two calculations: a) one consisting of net housing built within a 10 year Housing Balance period, less units withdrawn from protected status, plus net units in projects that have received both approvals from the Planning Commission or Planning Department and site permits from the Department of Building Inspection, and b) the addition of net units gained through acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable units, HOPE SF and RAD units5. “Protected units” include units that are subject to rent control under the City’s Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance. Additional elements that figure into the Housing Balance include completed HOPE SF and RAD public housing replacement, substantially rehabilitated units, and single-room occupancy hotel units (SROs). The equation below shows the second, expanded calculation of the Cumulative Housing Balance.

The first “Housing Balance Period” is a ten-year period starting with the first quarter of 2005 through the last quarter of 2014. Subsequent housing balance reports will cover the 10 years preceding the most recent quarter. This report covers January 2010 (Q1) through December 2019 (Q4).

5 HOPESF and Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Program units are deed-restricted affordable units that have been acquired and rehabilitated.

Table 1A below shows the Cumulative Housing Balance for 10-year 2010 Q1 – 2019 Q4 period is 21.5% Citywide. With the addition of RAD units, the expanded Cumulative Housing Balance is 28.6%. The expanded Cumulative Housing Balance for the previous 10-year 2009 Q3 – 2019 Q2 period was slightly lower at 27.4%. In 2016, the Board of Supervisors revised the ordinance to include Owner Move-Ins (OMIs) 6in the “Units Removed from Protected Status” section of the Housing Balance calculation. Although OMIs were not specifically called out by in the original Ordinance in the calculation of the Housing Balance, these were included in earlier reports because this type of no-fault eviction results in the loss of rent controlled units either permanently or for a period of time.

6 Owner Move-In (OMI) Evictions occur when a landlord or property owner recovers possession of a rental unit for the occupancy of the owner or relative of the owner for use as their principal residence for a period of at least 36 continuous months. This information is collected from the Rent Board.

PROJECTED HOUSING BALANCE

Table 2 below summarizes residential projects that have received entitlements from the Planning Commission or the Planning Department, have received an approved building permit from the Department of Building Inspection (DBI), or are currently under construction. Table 2 is the summary of Tables 3 and 4, thus providing a projected housing balance that includes any residential project that has received approval from the Planning Commission and Planning Department, as required by the ordinance.

Overall projected housing balance at the end of 2019 Q4 is 22.7%; for the previous 10-year reporting period, this projected balance was 24%. The projected balance is also expected to change as several major projects have yet to declare how their affordable housing requirements will be met. In addition, nine entitled major development projects – Treasure Island, Parkmerced, Candlestick Point/Hunters Point, Pier 70, HopeSF (Potrero and Sunnydale), India Basin, Schlage

Lock, and Mission Rock – are not included in the accounting until applications for building permits are filed or issued as specified in the ordinance. Remaining phases from these projects will yield an additional 31,520 net new units; 23% (or about 7,101 units) would be affordable to low- and moderate-income households.

As established by the ordinance, the Projected Housing Balance also does not account for af-fordable housing units that will be produced with current and future affordable housing funding (e.g. Inclusionary Housing Fee, Jobs-Housing Linkage Fee, bond funds), including funds owed or already paid by projects in a given reporting cycle. Those affordable housing units are produced several years after the fee is collected. Units produced through the fee typically serve lower income households than do the inclusionary units, including special needs populations requiring services, such as seniors, transitional aged youth, families, and veterans.

CUMULATIVE HOUSING BALANCE ELEMENTS

Because the scope covered by the Housing Balance calculation is broad, each element – or group of elements – will be discussed separately. The body of this report will account for figures at the Board of Supervisor district level. The breakdown of each element using the Planning Department District geographies, as required by Section 103, is provided separately in Appendix B.

Affordable Housing and Net New Housing Production

Table 5 below shows housing production between 2010 Q1 and 2019 Q4. This ten-year period resulted in a net addition of over 28,000 units to the City’s housing stock, including 7,081 affordable units (or approximately 25%). Most of the net new housing units and affordable units built in the ten-year reporting period were in District 6 (15,118 and 3,280 respectively). District 10 follows with over 5,660 net new units, including 1,723 affordable units.

The table below also shows that approximately 25% of net new units built between 2010 Q1 and 2019 Q4 were affordable units. Over half (54%) of the affordable units built during that period were in District 6.

7 It should be noted that units affordable to Extremely Very Low Income (EVLI) households are included under the Very Low Income (VLI) category because certain projects that benefit homeless individuals and families – groups considered as EVLI – have income eligibility caps at the VLI level.

Acquisition and Rehabilitation of Affordable Housing Units

Table 6 below lists the number of units that have been rehabilitated and/or acquired between 2010 Q1 and 2019 Q4 to ensure permanent affordability. These are mostly single-room occupancy hotel units that are affordable to extremely very low and very low-income households.

Small Sites Program

The San Francisco Small Sites Program (SSP) is an initiative of the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD) to acquire small rent-controlled buildings (with four to 25 units) where tenants are at risk of eviction through the Ellis Act 8or owner move-ins. Since its inception in 2014, some 38 buildings with 309 units have been acquired.

RAD Program

The San Francisco Housing Authority’s Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program preserves at risk public and assisted housing projects. According to the Mayor’s Office, RAD Phase I transferred 1,425 units to developers in December 2015. An additional 2,055 units were transferred as Phase II in 2016.

Units Removed From Protected Status

San Francisco’s Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance protects tenants and preserves affordability of about 175,000 rental units by limiting annual rent increases. Landlords can, however, terminate tenants’ leases through no-fault evictions including condo conversion, owner move-in, Ellis Act, demolition, and other reasons that are not the tenants’ fault. The Housing Balance calculation takes into account units permanently withdrawn from rent stabilization as loss of affordable housing. The following no-fault evictions affect the supply of rent controlled units by removing units from the rental market: condo conversion, demolition, Ellis Act, and owner move-ins (OMIs). It should be noted that initially, OMIs were not specifically called out by the Ordinance to be included in the calculation. However, because owner move-ins have the effect of the losing rent controlled units either permanently or for a substantial period of time, these numbers are included in the Housing Balance calculation as intended by the legislation’s sponsors. Some of these OMI units may return to being rentals and will still fall under the rent control ordinance. On 14 November 2016, the Board of Supervisors amended Planning Code Section 103 to include OMIs as part of the housing balance calculation.

Table 8 below shows the distribution of no-fault eviction notices issued between January 2010 and December 2019. Eviction notices have been commonly used as proxy for evictions. Owner Move-In and Ellis Act notices made up most of no-fault evictions (60% and 29% respectively). Distribution of these no-fault eviction notices is almost evenly dispersed, with Districts 9 and 8 leading (each at approximately 15% of the total units removed from protected status).

PERIODIC REPORTING AND ONLINE ACCESS

This report complies with the Planning Code Section 103 requirement that the Planning Department publish and update the Housing Balance Report bi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year. Housing Balance Reports are available online, as mandated by the ordinance, by going to this link: https://sfplanning.org/housing-balance-report.

ANNUAL HEARING

An annual hearing on the Housing Balance before the Board of Supervisors will be scheduled by April 1 of each year. The Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development, the Rent Stabilization Board, the Department of Building Inspection, and the City Economist will present strategies for achieving and maintaining a housing balance consistent with the City’s housing goals at this annual hearing. The ordinance also requires that MOHCD will determine the amount of funding needed to bring the City into the required minimum 33% should the cumulative housing balance fall below that threshold.
