Summary
On Jan. 7, 2026 the San Francisco Budget & Finance Committee unanimously forwarded a package of resolutions — covering airport lease adjustments, federal electrification prizes, homelessness and housing subsidies, and state behavioral‑health capital grants — to the full Board of Supervisors for final action on Jan. 13.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Budget & Finance Committee on Jan. 7 forwarded 14 resolutions to the full Board with positive recommendations, voting 3‑0 on each roll call.
The committee approved a range of items that city departments said will affect airport concession revenue, energy‑efficiency pilots, temporary staffing for homeless benefit enrollment, operating subsidies for supportive and senior housing, and capital improvements to behavioral‑health facilities. Committee members Supervisor Connie Chan (chair), Vice Chair Matt Dorsey, and Supervisor Cheyenne Chen voted aye on each item.
Key actions the committee advanced include: a resolution allowing San Francisco International Airport to amend food‑and‑beverage leases to reset minimum annual guarantees for 18 leases and reduce percentage rent for 7 pre‑security leases; two retroactive accept‑and‑expend resolutions to accept Department of Energy prize funding for home electrification pilots; accept‑and‑expend approvals for HSA grants to increase benefits enrollment for unhoused individuals; a retroactive grant agreement of up to $15.3 million over 20 years to provide operating subsidies for 32 supportive units at 78 Haight Street; three related resolutions authorizing financing, a long ground lease, and a $44.3 million city loan plus a $10.5 million operating subsidy for a new senior affordable project at 967 Mission; and two state Bond BCHIP Prop 1 awards totaling roughly $27.6 million to expand locked behavioral‑health beds at 887 Potrero and to renovate 333 7th Street as a 16‑bed residential treatment program.
The committee also approved a DPH request to accept roughly $6.76 million from the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation to optimize the EPIC electronic medical record; a retroactive Department of Public Health workforce grant (~$1.1 million) for disease intervention specialists; and a DPH contract amendment to extend and increase payments to A and A Health Services for board‑and‑care services, which BLA recommended be paired with stronger performance metrics.
The committee requested additional materials or follow‑up in several cases: MOHCD was asked to provide photos and to include underwriting‑guideline discussion during the 2026 budget hearings (related to the 78 Haight subsidy and projects more broadly); DPH committed to providing interior photos and floor plans and to outline good‑neighbor mitigation measures for the 333 7th Street reopening; and BLA requested clearer contract performance measures in the A and A Health Services amendment. The forwarded items are scheduled for Board consideration on Jan. 13.
Full recorded roll calls at the committee were unanimous (Dorsey, Chen, Chan — 3 ayes) for every item the committee acted on.
