HOPE SF Oversight Committee and City Services Team

Overview
HOPE SF is the result of unprecedented coordination by the City of San Francisco with renowned housing experts and affordable-housing developers. City agencies, community-based organizations, foundations, and residents are working together on this visionary effort.

The mission of HOPE SF is to create healthy, thriving neighborhoods by rebuilding obsolete and dilapidated public housing, offering supportive services that enhance the lives of current residents, and contributing to the revitalization of the surrounding neighborhood. HOPE SF partners will help make that mission a reality.

•	The San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing is leading the HOPE SF effort.
•	City, state, and federal government partners provide critical resources and oversight.
•	Community-based organizations are the lifeline for delivering services to HOPE SF families.
•	Real estate developers bring expertise, commitment, and the day-to-day management needed to revitalize and rebuild communities.
•	Philanthropic partners help create the best communities possible and help others create similar communities based on the HOPE SF experience.

This partnership philosophy began with the HOPE SF Task Force, a diverse group of public housing residents, non-profit representatives, and city government officials who crafted the foundation of HOPE SF by defining the HOPE SF Vision and Principles, and an Interagency Council, a group of city agencies working together to coordinate the delivery of city services and resources in each HOPE SF community.

Collaborations with San Francisco government agencies and with other sectors continue to form and strengthen. The Campaign for HOPE SF is one of these key partnerships that is bringing in essential private funds for HOPE SF. Strong partners have made HOPE SF what it is today and laid a course for successful partnerships in the future.
