With the recent loss of federal grant funding and a plan to add 8,000 homes in the Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island neighborhoods, advocates stress the importance of obtaining alternative funding to support low-income residents. Goncalves highlighted her non-profit's efforts to apply for grants, while city officials acknowledged that community priorities now hang in the balance. Amidst ongoing development, stakeholders are seeking legal options and alternative funding methods to enhance infrastructure, essential for accommodating a future population of potentially up to 20,000 residents.
We are working diligently to be more acknowledged in the city as a San Francisco neighborhood that needs all of the amenities that all of the other neighborhoods enjoy.
The community is undergoing a great transition. Up to 1,000 new residences have been built in the last few years, and there's a lot more activity taking place.
The loss of the grant, which was meant to prioritize the projects that the community wanted, was devastating.
The city is going to continue to build housing here, and we will have to find a way to pay for the infrastructure needs.
