I have a beautiful 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom home with a garage and in-law apartment downstairs. The neighbors are great and the neighborhood is fun despite all that I’ve heard over the years. It is 15 minutes from just about anywhere I need to be in San Francisco. I just wanted to thank you and the Mayor’s Office of Housing for the support, counseling, and Teacher Next Door loan. I’ll be 54 next month and I almost thought that owning a home in San Francisco would never happen.

SF Supervisorial Candidates’ Forum on Affordable Homeownership

Menraj — Tue, 04 May 2010 05:14:04 +0000

San Francisco Urban Community Housing Corporation (SF Urban CHC) and Homeownership San Francisco (HomeownershipSF) are hosting a forum with select San Francisco Supervisorial Candidates and housing policy experts to explore affordable homeownership opportunities in San Francisco. Achieving Affordable Homeownership Goals in San Francisco and will be held on Wednesday, May 12, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Cathedral, 1111 Gough Street, in San Francisco.

Homeownership does not just provide people a place to live – it provides them with the potential to build assets and a stake in their community. Yet, homeownership is not easy to attain in San Francisco due to the lack of affordability and availability of homes. Candidates from Districts 6, 8 and 10 will share their views on how to help more working class families achieve homeownership in San Francisco in advance of the Supervisorial elections.

SF URBAN has helped me to achieve my dream of buying my first home.

SF URBAN has helped me to achieve my dream of buying my first home. I had the opportunity to attend various workshops that provide vital information about home ownership. Quite frankly, the first workshop I attended let me know that I was not financially prepared nor did I have a remarkable credit score. However, that information better prepared me to become a more responsible homeowner. Also, as a first time home buyer, I felt uncomfortable approaching a realtor or view houses on the market. As an added feature to their workshops SF URBAN took us on a bus tour around the City. This tour allowed me to see first-hand how to approach a buyer and look at the many amenities within a condominium or a house. Therefore, due to SF URBAN’s workshops, support and expertise, I am now enjoying the house of my dreams.

Blacks abandon San Francisco

No US city has seen a more rapid decline of its African-American population.
By Michael B. Farrell | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor

San Francisco – On a recent overcast Saturday, just before noon, the ministers from some of this city’s largest black churches arrived in their dapper and dark suits, looking somewhat out of place on a dusty construction site.

They had come to break ground on 21 affordable apartments – a joint project between a church-affiliated development group and Kaiser Permanente, the healthcare provider. There were photo ops, the ceremonial shovels of dirt, and, given the number of reverends on hand, plenty of prayers.

Interacting with the capable staff at SF Urban CHC has been a complete relief. Being a first time homebuyer, I was completely out of my element and needing general counsel. They provided guidance from the initial process and aided in difficult situations that were beyond their expected duties. Flexible with their time and concern, the Staff at SF Urban CHC is a huge reason why I will be able to enjoy my new home.”

Hello Greg!

Wanted to say many thanks for the work you and SF Urban do, helping first-time home buyers. I attended the mortgage workshop and had a one-on-one consultation with you last fall. At that time, I was looking to purchase a BMR unit, but thanks to your advice and referral to Yvonne Meyer at Wells Fargo, who in turn gave me a referral to a great realtor, was able to close on a regular condo in March. I bought a one bedroom at the Oceanview Village complex.

Again, thank you for helping what seemed like an impossible dream come true. I am attaching a few pictures of me in the new place.
