The Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD)
MOHCD’s mission is to address social, economic, and racial inequities through the creation of affordable housing opportunities and the funding of essential services that are foundational for strong communities. We are industry leaders in the implementation of policies for the creation, rehabilitation and preservation of affordable housing. Through our lending programs we strengthen the social, physical and economic infrastructure of San Francisco’s low-income neighborhoods and communities in need. We actively collaborate with financial institutions, community-based organizations, non-profits, affordable housing providers, and other City agencies and staff, in our pursuit of a more equitable and affordable San Francisco. In our hiring practices, we strive to build teams that reflect the diversity of our City and the populations we serve, and we urge qualified candidates of all races, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity to apply.
MOHCD is organized into three divisions – Homeownership and Below Market Rate programs (HBMR), Housing Development, and Community Development. HBMR programs work collaboratively within all divisions to inform policy and deliver affordable housing to the low- and moderate-income communities it is intended to serve. HBMR focuses on creating and implementing housing policies that deliver safe, stable, and sustainable affordable housing. We are recognized nationally for our innovative Inclusionary Housing program that delivers hundreds of below market rate ownership and rental units in market rate buildings each year; we are stewards of an extensive portfolio of Below Market Rate units.
