We are proud to have preserved or produced over 3,200 units of housing in our first three years – across the two funds that make up the Partnership for the Bay’s Future’s family of loan funds – and we are incredibly excited about what we have learned.
Though the pandemic has dramatically changed the context around affordable housing since our launch, we were still able to identify conditions of the Bay Area’s ecosystem that make creating and maintaining affordable housing challenging. We see all of these learnings as opportunities for the Partnership and the field:
The Partnership for the Bay’s Future and its related funds are rooted in two beliefs above all: 1) there must be equitable access to housing, especially for communities of color; and 2) the need to listen to and be responsive to our community. Over the past three years, we have succeeded because we have been responsive: we have listened, we have adjusted when necessary, and we have continued to learn. We are committed to continuing this journey in the same way we started as we build on our accomplishments to increase the supply of housing affordable to lower- and middle-income households in the Bay Area and expand the region’s pipeline of equitable development capacity.
