Supes to Vote on Affordable Housing Package TodayPaul Hogarthbyline‚ Apr. 24‚ 2007With the City facing $130 million in surplus revenues, Supervisor Chris Daly has proposed a $28 million budget supplemental to acquire, construct and rehabilitate housing – with half the units targeted at those making less than $27,000 a year. Over the weekend, Mayor Gavin Newsom said that he opposed the housing supplemental – while at the same time urging the City to “do more” to get more affordable housing units. With a Mayoral-Board showdown looming on the horizon, over 100 housing activists and three Supervisors held a pep rally on the steps of City Hall yesterday to support the $28 million package. The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to vote on it today. |
