San Francisco Redevelopment Agency

The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency was a government organization responsible for revitalizing and improving designated areas of the city through urban renewal projects. It aimed to stimulate economic growth, improve infrastructure, and increase affordable housing by funding development and redevelopment initiatives. The Agency coordinated efforts between city officials, developers, and community members to transform neglected neighborhoods into vibrant, livable communities. In 2012, redevelopment agencies across California were dissolved, and their assets and responsibilities were transferred to local governments to ensure ongoing community development efforts continue under local control.
