San
Francisco Redevelopment Agency staffers are packing boxes. Resources
and leadership are shifting. Bayview Hunters Point, and neighborhoods
like it throughout California, are plunging into yet another chapter in
their sagas of urban change.
"The Mayor and the City are committed to continuing the Agency's work in neighborhood revitalization, affordable housing, and economic development," said Tiffany Bohee, Executive Director of the SF Redevelopment Agency. As of January 24th, the City of San Francisco became the successor to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency and its approved programs. On March 1st, Mayor Ed Lee made appointments to a new Oversight Board.

According to a recent Hunters Point Shipyard Citizens' Advisory Committee newsletter,
the Hunters Point Shipyard Project Area is deemed to be an enforceable
obligation. The same is true of the Mission Bay Redevelopment Project
and part of the Transbay Redevelopment Area. Those projects will move
forward as planned.
The Citizens Advisory Committee for the Shipyard will continue to represent community interests with regard to the Hunters Point Shipyard project.

what needs to be done to meet the need of our various communities in
