The lack of affordable housing poses a major threat to our region's quality of life. In partnership with the County of San Diego and other key funders, San Diego Foundation (SDF) launched the San Diego Housing Fund (SDHF) in 2023, an exciting new initiative tackling the housing affordability crisis in San Diego County. Functioning as both a privately owned real estate and investment firm, and a newly formed subsidiary of SDF, SDHF is leading a county-wide affordable housing development strategy. Its mission: to collaborate with public, private, and philanthropic investors and partners to accelerate the production and preservation of housing that meets the following pillars: 1) community-focused, 2) equitable, 3) sustainable and 4) supports good jobs for working families, particularly in the civic sectors (public safety, education, healthcare, arts etc.). SDHF's efforts are focused on building the right kind of housing, in the right places, and doing so with modern design characteristics, construction cost controls, energy efficiency, and environmental requirements. SDHF is off to an incredibly fast start, supporting the creation of 10,000 units of new housing by 2034, with 6 projects currently in the pipeline and many more to follow.
