First Source Hiring Program

The First Source Hiring Program requires that developers, contractors, and employers utilize good faith efforts toward employing economically disadvantaged San Franciscan residents in new entry-level positions on applicable projects. The Program provides a ready supply of qualified workers to employers with hiring needs, and it gives economically disadvantaged individuals the first opportunity to apply for entry-level jobs in San Francisco. It was enacted into law in 1998 under Chapter 83 of the City’s Administrative Code (the law was amended in 2004, 2006 and 2014).
