The Coalition on Homelessness
ENDORSES THE FOLLOWING LOCAL PROPOSITIONS ON THE NOV. 6TH BALLOT
Proposition C
This is the Housing Trust fund which will generate revenue in excess of $1 Billion over a 30 year period. This revenue will help provide affordable housing. With the dissolution of redevelopment funds (San Francisco’s primary source of affordable housing dollars) we at the Coalition on Homelessness are confronted daily with the human impact of the housing crisis and see firsthand just how urgently this funding is needed.
Proposition E
This is the progressive revenue initiative. It will reform the way business taxes are assessed in San Francisco, relieving the unfair burden on small business and, instead, requiring that big businesses and wealthy corporations pay their fair share. It also establishes a very progressive business licensing fee that will exempt small businesses altogether and again place the bulk of the taxes on wealthy corporations.
The two propositions are closely linked
THE HOUSING TRUST FUND IN PROPOSITION C WILL BE FUNDED BY THE REVENUE GENERATED BY PROPOSITION
Ultimately, politicians and policymakers must determine the most optimal policy solution to the affordable housing problem in New York City. Part of this process includes educating the public, homeowners, business owners, and other stakeholders about the true costs and outcomes of affordable housing. Many of these groups base their views on unfounded fears. In reality, affordable housing actually serves to revitalize neighborhoods. Older, blighted buildings are torn down or renovated to create new structures that architecturally match the neighborhood. This brings in stable residents, builds the neighborhood, and works to revitalize the area.
