LAST CALL TO HELP PASS SAN FRANCISCO’S PROP A! 

Election Day is coming up November 5 and we need to make sure San Francisco passes Proposition A! Prop A will invest $600 million in affordable housing through a bond to support the city’s most vulnerable residents and communities, as well as affordable housing for educators.

The "Vote Yes On A" campaign needs your help in making sure this critical measure passes. First, if you are a San Francisco voter, make sure you vote for the measure on November 5. Second, get involved by volunteering! Sign up to volunteer on their website, AffordableHomesSF.com, or email info@affordablehomessf.com. 

There’s a big event coming up before the election that’s a great opportunity to show your support:
