(See attached.) From: Supervisor Newsom To: Mayor's Office of Housing Requesting/Inquiring: To report on the feasibility of expanding the City's existing Teacher Home Purchase Programs. Specifically: What would the City of San Francisco have to do to increase the amount of the grant received from the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) towards the Extra Credit Teacher Home Purchase Program, thereby increasing the number of home loan packages available? And, How much more funding is needed from CalHFA to make the program available to 100 teachers? In addition to the Extra Credit Program and the HiCap Assistance Program, what is the feasibility of city-based supplemental assistance, such as a bond measure, in the form of a deferred loan to help cover down payment and closing costs? How can the City ensure that the grant supplied by CalHFA is not completely used up before a reserve or additional funds are available, thereby avoiding a gap in the opportunity for teachers to take advantage of the incentive? How is the current Teacher Home Purchase Program being publicized within the San Francisco Unified School District? | |||
