Affordable Housing
rafael believes in
California ranks 49th out of 50 in the number of housing units per person. It is incumbent on us to do our fair share to address the housing crisis, focusing on creating permanently affordable housing for those who cannot afford market rate housing.
On the Board of Supervisors, I have:
Introduced legislation to curb monster homes while allowing fourplexes Citywide to encourage production of more units affordable to everyday San Franciscans.
Worked with Mayor Breed to acquire a parcel for the development of more than 100 units of permanently affordable LGBTQ-affirming senior housing in District 8.
Worked to identify existing sites and secure funding for additional permanently affordable developments in District 8.
Authored legislation to prevent landlords from reducing housing services to longtime tenants.
