The City of San Francisco released an upzoning map as part of the Expanding Housing Choice (Housing Element Rezoning Program) to address the city’s housing shortfall and meet state requirements. The map aims to accommodate 36,200 additional housing units by rezoning areas to increase capacity for multi-family housing, particularly in Housing Opportunity Areas. This initiative is driven by the need to provide more housing options for diverse populations, including families, seniors, and essential workers, while promoting inclusive growth and leveraging existing infrastructure. The updated map reflects extensive community and policymaker feedback and is designed to ensure San Francisco meets its housing goals and statutory obligations by January 2026.
