How it got here
The legislation originated from the need to finance the development of affordable housing at the 1500 Block of Sunnydale Avenue, prompted by a housing shortage in San Francisco.
The Borrower requested the City to assist in financing a 90-unit affordable residential rental housing development at Sunnydale Block 3B through tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds.
The Board recognized a shortage of safe and sanitary housing for low and moderate-income persons in San Francisco, prompting the need for financing multi-family rental housing units.
The City enacted the Residential Mortgage Revenue Bond Law to establish procedures for issuing bonds to finance affordable housing.
The Budget and Finance Committee recommended the resolution for the issuance of residential mortgage revenue bonds for the Sunnydale Project.
The Board of Supervisors adopted the resolution declaring the intent to reimburse expenditures from future bonded indebtedness for the Sunnydale Project.
The Mayor approved the resolution, allowing the Director of the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development to proceed with the application to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee.
