Project
The City and County of San Francisco and FUSE are partnering to make housing more attainable for low- and middle-income families in every neighborhood. FUSE Executive Fellow Jermaine Gause will help San Francisco Planning implement the Family Zoning Plan by equipping planners and developers with the tools, policies, and financial analysis needed to break ground. The work centers on 4-to-8 story “missing middle” buildings in well-resourced northern and western neighborhoods. Over two years, it will help keep families, seniors, and workers in the San Francisco.
