Yaki, Ammiano Offer Solutions to Nonprofit Space Crisis in S.F.
High rents displacing at least a third of groups, according to study
In response to sky-high rents that are potentially putting the city’s nonprofit groups out of business, Supervisor Michael Yaki last week unveiled a plan to provide immediate relief to the space crisis, calling for a $500,000 short-term emergency rent fund, a $2.5 million capital fund and for the Planning Department to evaluate creating new zonings for nonprofit businesses.
Supervisor Tom Ammiano and Mayor Willie Brown have also each recently disclosed plans to help struggling nonprofit groups survive. These three proposals came after a survey of arts groups by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation found that more than one-third of nonprofits have already lost their leases, are month-to-month renters or will lose their leases by December 2001, when they face rent increases.
