The City received a Prohousing Designation a year to the date after California housing officials slagged San Francisco’s sluggish pace of construction
The California Department of Housing and Community Development gave The City a Prohousing Designation on Friday, as part of a larger program recognizing jurisdictions that have proactively sought to speed up housing construction by enacting policy changes. It also includes access to state funding.
California housing officials launched the program to reward jurisdictions working to encourage housing construction at all income levels. Amid a statewide housing shortage, San Francisco’s Housing Element calls for The City to add more than 82,000 new homes by the end of 2031.

"We are proud that the State has recognized San Francisco as a Prohousing city," said Mayor London Breed in a statement."This has taken a lot of work locally to change our laws and get to yes on housing, as well as a strong partnership with our state leaders to deliver on key reforms. Working together, we are showing how San Francisco can be a leader on building new housing and be a more affordable city for all.
The designation follows a rocky few years for housing development in San Francisco. After San Francisco missed its development goals last year, The City in July became the first in California subject to Senate Bill 423, authored by Sen. Scott Wiener, which requires most new developments to meet planning standards to advance without public review.
