SF Housing Policy and Practice Review

The state of California’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) issued their “San Francisco Housing Policy and Practice Review” on October 25, 2023. This first-of-its-kind document “identifies, and seeks to remove, barriers to housing approvals and construction at all income levels.” It contains 18 required actions and 10 recommended actions in furtherance of that goal. The City continues to partner with HCD to advance our shared goal of approving more housing, faster.

Below are links to the Policy and Practice Review along with related communications between HCD and the City – both Departments and elected officials. While best efforts have been made, we cannot warrant this list to be exhaustive.
