SF Housing Authority elects new officers and approves two contractor extensions

The Housing Authority of the City and County of San Francisco elected a new president and vice president and approved two contract extensions on items the board said were intended to stabilize operations of the authority's voucher and project-based programs.

Commissioners voted to elect the board president and vice president at the meeting's annual election. In the vote for president, Commissioners Marianne Pikes, Kim and Vice President Leroy Lindo voted yes; the nominee (identified in the record variously as Shoemaker/Schumaker/Doug Schumacher) abstained. In the vice president vote the board approved the nominated commissioner by the same roll call pattern.

The board approved two separate contract amendments extending vendor agreements that run daily voucher and project-based operations. The board authorized an amendment to contract 22-002-2 with Paul Edwards Management and Consulting LLC (referred to in the meeting as PIM) to exercise its third and fourth one-year options, extend the term through 10/31/2027 and increase the contract by $14,000,000 to a cumulative not-to-exceed $42,000,000. The extension was approved by roll call vote (Pikes: aye; Kim: aye; Shoemaker/Schumaker: aye; Vice President Lindo: yes).

The board also approved amendment number 3 to contract 22-002-1 with CBR Associates to exercise two additional one-year options, adding $20,700,000 for years four and five and increasing the contract ceiling to $46,400,000. Commissioners added a requirement that staff provide an annual performance report for the contract prior to future renewals; the board voted to approve the extension with that report-back requirement (Pikes: aye; Kim: aye; Shoemaker/Schumaker: aye; Vice President Lindo: yes).

A separate memorandum of understanding (MOU) to formalize Housing Authority staff support for Plaza East Housing Corporation was discussed but not approved; the board voted to continue consideration of that item so staff could provide additional legal and financial context. The continuation passed on roll call (Pikes: aye; Kim: yes; Shoemaker/Schumaker: aye; Vice President Lindo: yes).

The meeting packet also included a consent item approving special meeting minutes from 07/14/2025; that consent item passed on roll call.
