The San Francisco Housing Authority convened on September 25, 2025, to discuss critical resolutions aimed at enhancing public housing and emergency housing voucher programs. The meeting focused on two main agenda items, both of which involved contract amendments to support ongoing rehabilitation and operational efforts.

The first item addressed was a resolution to approve an amendment to contract number 25-0004 with DC Construction. Procurement Analyst Karina Suarez presented the proposal, which seeks to increase the contract amount by $1,000,000, bringing the total to $3,000,000. This funding is designated for public housing capital improvements specifically for vacant unit repairs at Plaza East. Suarez explained that the amendment is necessary due to unforeseen project requirements and an expansion of the scope of work, which now includes an additional 10 vacant units that were not initially anticipated. The project has encountered significant issues such as dry rot, water intrusion, and the need for complete replacements of plumbing and cabinetry in several units. The board approved the resolution unanimously after a brief discussion.

The second item involved a resolution to amend contract number 21-0008-1 with Paul Edwards Management and Consulting LLC. Housing Operations Director Kendra Crawford outlined the request to extend the contract for an additional year and increase the funding by $200,000, resulting in a new total not to exceed $3,900,300. This contract supports the administration of the Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program, which was initiated as part of the American Rescue Plan Act to provide rental assistance to individuals and families facing homelessness. Crawford highlighted the importance of this program, noting that 925 EHVs are currently in use, and emphasized the need for continued support to ensure compliance with federal regulations and effective service delivery.

Both resolutions reflect the Housing Authority's commitment to addressing housing challenges in San Francisco, particularly in light of ongoing economic pressures and the need for comprehensive support for vulnerable populations. The meeting concluded with a unanimous vote in favor of both amendments, underscoring the board's dedication to enhancing housing services in the city.
