Affordable Housing
State law requires 35% of all units built in the Transbay Redevelopment Area be affordable.
City is building as many 100% affordable projects as possible on public parcels to help meet this requirement.
Lack of available sites makes off-site BMR impractical in Redevelopment Area for private developments, hence on-site requirement.
TCDP development projected to generate up to $117M from Jobs-Housing Linkage Fees for affordable housing citywide
