Since the outset of our City's housing affordability crisis, the
San Francisco Interfaith Council has been an active and vocal proponent of the morality of housing as a human right and of measures that ensure middle-income residents will not be the victims of displacement.
The SFIC is endorsing Prop A, for a more affordable San Francisco, and encourages congregations and their faithful to vote YES on this important measure. Prop A is a $600 million Affordable Housing Bond on the November ballot that will fund more than 2,800 new affordable homes over the next four years.
Prop A will:
- Provide much needed housing for our most vulnerable residents - seniors, veterans, low-income working families, and LGBTQ San Franciscans
- Fund permanently affordable housing for educators
- NOT raise taxes
In addition to voting YES for the measure in November, as it needs 66.7% to pass, we are asking congregation leaders and their faithful to spread the word about Prop A, in whatever way is appropriate with the policies of their respective communities of faith.
