The San Francisco Housing Authority convened on July 4, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including updates on housing issues and a consent agenda. The meeting began with a brief acknowledgment that there was no committee meeting held in the previous month, but members expressed anticipation for the upcoming committee meeting scheduled for September 18.

During the session, public comments were invited regarding the committee report, but no significant discussions arose. The focus then shifted to a notable issue concerning the sentencing of an individual who had fraudulently exploited housing choice vouchers. The board president commended the collaborative efforts between the Housing Authority and the U.S. District Attorney's office that led to this outcome, emphasizing the importance of accountability in housing matters.

Further discussions highlighted the ongoing advocacy for residents at Potrero, with a commitment to address their concerns in future meetings. The board president noted the necessity of engaging with residents to ensure their voices are heard, particularly regarding a letter dated September 3 that outlined their grievances. The president reiterated the swift actions taken against the individual responsible for the fraudulent activities, underscoring the authority's dedication to protecting residents.

CEO Ladder Jew echoed these sentiments, affirming the Housing Authority's commitment to working with city partners to address issues on property and acknowledging the receipt of a letter from the eviction defense collaborative, which had not been submitted directly to the Housing Authority.

The meeting proceeded to the consent agenda, which included the approval of minutes from the previous commission meeting held on July 31, 2024. After a brief discussion, the minutes were unanimously approved through a roll call vote.

The session concluded with the introduction of regular business action items, specifically a resolution authorizing the CEO to execute a construction license agreement for the Potrero Annex and Terrace revitalization project, focusing on hazardous materials and demolition for Hope SF Phase 3.

Overall, the meeting underscored the Housing Authority's ongoing efforts to address housing challenges in San Francisco, with a clear commitment to resident engagement and accountability in the wake of recent fraudulent activities. The next meeting is anticipated to provide further updates on these critical issues.
