SAN FRANCISCO - City supporters hoping to get sizable portion of $2.8 billion for affordable units to add to 2002's Prop 46 funds.
San Francisco's affordable housing advocates found hope this week in new poll numbers showing that of the five infrastructure bonds put on this November's ballot by the state legislature, the $2.85 billion housing bond has the most comfortable lead.
Proposition 1C is part of a larger, $37 billion package that seeks to also support water facilities, transportation and education facilities infrastructure in California. Called the Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act of 2006, 57 percent of registered voters surveyed by the Public Policy Institute of California were in support of the measure, with 30 percent against and 13 percent undecided.
