By Bruce Wolfe, HANC Board
WHEN: September-October TBD
HANC will be hosting a Town Hall for its members and surrounding community to introduce the Race & Equity in all Planning (REP-SF)1 Citywide People’s Plan.
HANC has been a member of REP-SF since its inception in August 2020 in the middle of the pandemic. Its mission and purpose is: “Needing to change the City’s approach to planning and land use, REP-SF works proactively for Desegregation, Affordability, Culture & Arts, Stability and Sustainability (DACSS solutions framework)2. San Francisco’s political priorities, bolstered by mainstream media, rely on trickle-down, profit-driven, market-based approaches which only result in increasingly expensive housing, and displacement. REP-SF works to create new systems that deliberately address all the components of DACSS to achieve equity for people of color, immigrants, people with low and no incomes, seniors and people with disabilities.“
A culmination of these 40+ nonprofit organizations plus individuals have created The Citywide People’s Plan3 which “is a roadmap for housing justice rooted in racial, social, and economic equity with an extensive “Action Plan.” The Citywide People’s Plan reflects our communities’ expertise, both technically and because of our lived experiences of gentrification, urban renewal, and displacement:”
