San Francisco's Prop G, would dedicate money from the general fund toward rental subsidies for extremely low-income seniors, people with disabilities, and families.

If approved, it would require the city to spend up to 8.25 million dollars a year filling the gap between what San Francisco’s lowest income residents earn and the deed-restricted affordable housing that’s available. So, that means an apartment earmarked for people earning 80% of the median income could be rented to a family making only 30 percent, with the city making up the difference in cost.

Our Prop G panel was hosted by San Francisco Public Press’ Executive Director Lila LaHood. She spoke with Caroline Feng, Chief Community Real Estate Officer at the Mission Economic Development Agency,Madison Alvarado a reporter for the San Francisco Public Press and Annie Chung, President and CEO at Self Help for the Elderly
