Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD)

MOHCD’s mission is to address social, economic, and racial inequities through the creation of affordable housing opportunities and the funding of essential services that are foundational for strong communities.  We are industry leaders in financing the development, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable housing.  Through our financing, we strengthen the social, physical, and economic infrastructure of San Francisco’s low-income neighborhoods and communities in need. We actively collaborate with community-based organizations, non-profits, affordable housing developers, and other City agencies and staff, in our pursuit of a more equitable and affordable San Francisco.  In our hiring practices, we strive to build teams that reflect the diversity of our City and the populations we serve, and we urge qualified candidates of all races, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity to apply.  

MOHCD’s Housing Division

MOHCD’s programs are organized into three divisions: Housing, Community Development, and Homeownership/Below Market Rate programs. The Housing division focuses on creating housing policies and funding programs that create safe, stable, and affordable housing.  We are recognized nationally for our ground-breaking work including transforming public housing through the HOPE SF and RAD initiatives, stabilizing communities through the anti-displacement efforts of our Small Sites Program and increasing the number of affordable housing opportunities across the widest range of household incomes by advancing new housing production and inclusionary housing policies.  Our diverse staff and leadership work together to:

• Monitor the long-term affordability and physical viability of the City’s publicly assisted affordable housing portfolio of over 28,000 units, providing funding for needed repairs and upgrades to ensure sustainable operations and habitability for residents.
• Guide and coordinate citywide housing policies under direction of the Mayor and through collaboration with the Board of Supervisors.
