Kate Hartley laughs when talking about what could have been if she
had chased a career in legal history, the academic path she started
out on while at the University of California, Berkeley. But after
taking a couple urban planning classes on a whim, she never looked
back. Nowadays, Kate focuses on all things housing as the director
of the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD)
in San Francisco. She and Courtney discuss how the Affordable
Housing Bonus Program leverages incentives to create affordable
housing and why it's so difficult to deliver units for
middle-income households in the city. Kate praises the Mission
Action Plan 2020, which focuses on decelerating the rate of
eviction and displacement in the famed neighborhood. She talks
about the challenges inherent in her work but also projects from
other cities that inspire her, such as Vancouver's investment in
modular housing for homeless households.
