The Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD) and the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) invite you to provide input to inform the development of four strategic plans:

  • The Consolidated Plan is the primary MOHCD plan that identifies affordable housing and community development needs and priorities.
  • The Local and Regional Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Strategic Plans identify workforce development needs and priorities for the San Francisco and regional economies.
  • The HIV Housing Plan focuses on housing-related programs for people living with HIV.
  • The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing looks at fair housing issues and how they can be addressed.

Residents can access the Survey in English, Spanish, Filipino, Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, or Samoan.  Click here.
