We are delighted to have completed the Cultural History, Housing, and Economic Sustainability Strategies (CHHESS) Report of the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District.
The Report is the result of years of research and community engagement (thank you to everyone who took part in the focus groups or surveys) and work with City departments!
The Report was presented at a Board of Supervisors Committee hearing on June 13, 2024, and received a unanimous Committee endorsement. It will be voted upon by the full Board of Supervisors on June 25, and is expected to be signed by the Mayor shortly before after that.
At that Committee hearing, Bob Goldfarb, the Executive Director of the Cultural District, was presented with a Certificate of Honor by Supervisor Matt Dorsey, to recognize Bob’s “unwavering dedication and exceptional leadership” as a “steadfast champion for the city’s vibrant leather community”.
We invite you to read the report in full; however, the contents of the report were also presented at an open community forum on November 29, 2023. You can view the presentation video, the presentation slideshow, or the presentation slideshow as a PDF.
