The Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD) and the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) invite you to provide input into our strategic planning process. We are convening a Community Forum on Tuesday, December 5, 2023, from 5:30pm to 7:30 p.m. at George Washington High School (600 32nd Avenue, San Francisco) to gather input from stakeholders to inform the development of four strategic plans:
The Consolidated Plan is the primary MOHCD plan that identifies affordable housing and community development needs and priorities.
The Local and Regional Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Strategic Plans identify workforce development needs and priorities for the San Francisco and regional economies.
The HIV Housing Plan focuses on housing-related programs for people living with HIV.
The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing looks at fair housing issues and how they can be addressed.
Community participation will inform decisions we make about how to design and improve services and other resources to meet the needs of San Francisco residents. Members of the community who are interested in attending can REGISTER HERE or on-site the day of the forum. We also invite all community members to learn about our programs and share input on our online platform: www.engagesanfrancisco.com
We will provide refreshments and child watch, and we will have three (3) simultaneous meetings in English, Cantonese, and Russian at the Richmond neighborhood forum.

New Housing Resource
After undergoing detox and a residential treatment program for a substance abuse disorder, many require continued assistance in their efforts to regain economic self-sufficiency and independence. Transitional housing, often referred to as sober living, is the next step in the process of transitioning from a residential treatment program back into society. Transitional housing is intended for individuals and families who are in recovery and require further assistance before living independently on their own.
For many recovering addicts, homelessness is a major concern. Addiction, mental illness and other crisis are often to blame for financial instability that leads to homelessness. In some cases, a recovering addict may have a home to go to, but if there are other addicts living in the home, recovery can quickly be derailed and relapse is likely to occur. Transitional housing provides a safe, semi-controlled environment for individuals in recovery to continue working toward the ultimate goal of becoming independent once again.
