Housing Program & Goals

OCII became the Successor Agency to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (“SFRA”) after SFRA was dissolved in 2012 pursuant to state law. As Successor Agency, OCII’s work activities are focused on enforceable obligations that have been approved by the State Department of Finance (“DOF”). OCII’s “Retained Housing Obligations” include ensuring the development of affordable housing in OCII’s approved projects areas.

OCII directly carries out affordable housing development design review, entitling, underwriting and funding. In addition, OCII procures services from the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD) through a Memorandum of Understanding for outreach and marketing for both inclusionary and OCII funded projects, implementing the Certificate of Preference program, assisting with the fiscal management and disbursement of OCII’s funds, some construction monitoring, and other ancillary tasks as needed. Upon completion of the projects, OCII transfers the affordable housing assets such as land, funding agreements, ground leases, and affordability restrictions for each completed project to MOHCD, which is then responsible for all asset management responsibilities.

Tables 4A-G reflect all OCII housing obligations and production goals as of June 30, 2021.

Of OCII’s 21,846 planned total housing units, 7,042 (32% of the total) will be affordable. At the end of FY20-21, a total of 9,098 housing units (42% of the total goal) have been completed. Of these completed units, 2,613 are affordable units and 6,485 are market rate units. The total affordable units comprise both 100% OCII funded affordable projects and inclusionary units in market rate projects.
More information on OCII’s project areas can be found on OCII’s website: OCII Projects Overview

Housing Types

Rental housing in OCII’s projects include Family Rental (generally a mix of bedroom sizes, with no other population restrictions), Senior Rental (for those 62 years or older), and Supportive Rental (for formerly homeless households or other special needs). Rental units in 100% affordable developments typically offer services programming along with affordable rents. Homeownership units are typically condos in multi-family buildings or towers. Affordable homeownership units are offered to first time homebuyers through a limited equity program.

Table 3 shows that 59% of completed units are for family rental and 36% of completed units are
for homeownership.

Hunters Point Shipyard Phase I

For Hunters Point Shipyard Phase I (HPSY Phase I), the total housing production goal at full build-out is 1,428 units, of which 29% (or 407 units) will be affordable. HPSY Phase I is divided into two areas, the “Hilltop”, where all the housing development to date has occurred, and the “Hillside”, which has not yet started development. Table 4C shows that in HPSY Phase I, housing production at the end of FY20-21 was 35% complete with 505 units completed. Of those completed units, 102 were affordable housing units, consisting of all inclusionary affordable units within market rate developments. HPSY Phase I is not a part of the Navy’s retesting efforts described below, and has been confirmed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to be safe for people to live and work there. During FY20-21, the California Department of Public Health completed a health and safety scan of HPSY Phase I, concluding that there is no exposure to radiological health or safety hazards for residents, workers or visitors.

Hunters Point Shipyard Phase II/Candlestick Point

For Hunters Point Shipyard Phase II/Candlestick Point (HPSY Phase II/CP), the total housing production goal at full build-out is 10,672 units, of which approximately 31% will be affordable. The affordable housing program in HPSY Phase II/CP is unique in that it includes the broadest range of affordability, providing typical affordable units serving households ranging from very low-income households up to those at 120% of AMI, as well as “workforce” housing that will serve slightly higher incomes of 140% to 160% of AMI. Table 4D shows that in HPSY Phase II/CP, the housing production at the end of FY20-21 was 3% complete. Those completed units are all part of the new housing in Candlestick Point for the HOPE SF revitalization of the Alice Griffith public housing development. The three market rate units represent the onsite property managers’ units, which are not income restricted.

The land in HPSY Phase II is an environmental “Superfund” site that requires clean-up by the Navy. Portions of HPSY Phase II are the subject of an investigation regarding the testing that was performed after the Navy had completed certain clean up and remediation activities. No construction is currently occurring on any of the HPSY Phase II parcels, and OCII will not accept any land or begin any development on HPSY Phase II until each parcel is tested and determined by regulatory agencies to be safe.

Mission Bay North and South

Together, the Mission Bay North (MBN) and South (MBS) total housing production goal at full build-out is 6,535 units, of which 29% (or 1,908 units) will be affordable. Planned housing construction in the two project areas combined was 93% complete, for a total of 6,060 units. Table 4E reflects housing completions in MBN, which was fully complete in FY16-17, and has provided 2,266 market rate units and 698 affordable units (24% of the total units). Table 4F shows that in MBS, the project area was 87% complete at the end of FY20-21, with 3,096 units completed out of 3,571. As of FY20-21, market rate units were 100% complete, and 63% of the OCII affordable units were completed. The two market rate units shown in each of the Predevelopment and Preliminary Planning categories in MBS are onsite property manager’s units, which are not income restricted. At full build-out, the housing in MBS will be 34% affordable.

Transbay

In Transbay Zone 1 for which OCII has land use and zoning jurisdiction, the total housing production goal at full build-out is 3,211 units, of which 43% (or 1,358 units) will be affordable. Table 4G.1 shows that in Transbay Zone 1, housing production at the end of FY20-21 was 68% complete with 2,196 units. Of these completed units in Zone 463 were affordable units in OCII funded, 100% affordable housing developments.

Overall, 35% of all new housing in Zones 1 and 2 combined must be affordable. Transbay Zone 2 is under the jurisdiction of the City’s Planning Department, and not a subject of this report. However, Table 4G.2 is presented to show Transbay Zones 1 and 2 combined, and that given the high percentage of affordability in Zone 1, OCII is on track to meet the 36% goal.
