Presentation: Recognized as one of the most innovative urban initiatives in the country, HOPE SF empowers residents to take part in the transformation of their neighborhoods while reconstructing public housing without mass displacement. HOPE SF is not only constructing 6,000 units of new housing, it is also breaking ground on anti-poverty work that the late Mayor Lee strived to accomplish - prioritizing public housing residents who have been historically disconnected from the rest of San Francisco's prosperity with comprehensive services, greater economic opportunity, high achieving schools, onsite health and wellness centers, and a focus on supporting the whole family.
Presenters: Theo Miller
T
oday, Miller is the director of HOPE SF, former Mayor Ed Lee's "visionary effort to revitalilze eight of San Francisco's public housing developments."

A graduate of Yale University and of Harvard Law School, Mr. Miller was inspired as an undergraduate by the youth residents of New Haven, where he worked as a community organizer and mental health counselor for incarcerated, hospitalized and underserved youth. Before pursuing his doctorate, he was a senior policy fellow and advisor to the Honorable Mayor of the City of San Francisco, a corporate attorney at the firm Davis Polk & Wardwell, and the managing member and general counsel of Mid-City Capital, a real estate acquisition and development company of urban infill commercial real estate in Southern California.
