Most notable in 2020 was the release of three surveys of app-based work in San Francisco, including the first representative survey of its kind in the country. These surveys, commissioned by LAFCo in 2019 and funded by private foundations, were the City’s first snapshot of this vulnerable workforce. Even though the Covid crisis cut the main representative survey short, the survey consultant team quickly regrouped, and conducted a survey assessing how the pandemic was impacting platform workers. Like other public agencies, we shifted our focus to pursue research topics on Covid-related issues, producing a report on bank accountability, and the handling of PPP loans in San Francisco, analyzing a CPUC decision on utility disconnections, and recommending a series of steps to prevent a disconnections crisis. LAFCo research associates also completed research and recommendations to establish an e-bike rebate program for delivery workers, as well as a pilot project to determine how the City can help with the start-up of worker-owned cooperatives as alternatives to the big platform companies. The LAFCo also completed an RFQ process for a renewable energy consultant, choosing Vanir, whose team has since produced three valuable reports on CleanPowerSF, helping to strengthen the Commission’s oversight role.

This report highlights LAFCo’s major accomplishments in the past year. In its research, the LAFCo brings in a diversity of outside perspectives, leveraging interns from a variety of graduate-level public policy programs and backgrounds, along with expert consultants. LAFCo is an ideal venue for the study, incubation and development of challenging but popularly supported initiatives, such as the city’s community choice energy program. Most notable in 2020 was the release of three surveys of app-based work in San Francisco, including the first representative survey of its kind in the country. These surveys, commissioned by LAFCo in 2019 and funded by private foundations, were the City’s first snapshot of this vulnerable workforce. Even though the Covid crisis cut the main representative survey short, the survey consultant team quickly regrouped, and conducted a survey assessing how the pandemic was impacting platform workers. Like other public agencies, we shifted our focus to pursue research topics on Covid-related issues, producing a report on bank accountability, and the handling of PPP loans in San Francisco, analyzing a CPUC decision on utility disconnections, and recommending a series of steps to prevent a disconnections crisis later this year. LAFCo research associates also completed research and recommendations to establish an e-bike rebate program for delivery workers, as well as a pilot project to determine how the City can help with the start-up of worker-owned cooperatives as alternatives to the big platform companies, two projects that are advancing. The LAFCo also completed an RFQ process for a renewable energy consultant, choosing Vanir, whose team has since produced three valuable reports on CleanPowerSF, helping to strengthen the Commission’s oversight role. As executive officer, I’m extremely proud of the work we produced in 2020, and everyone who had a hand in it.

  • Rafael Mandelman District 8 Supervisor Rafaelmandelman.Com
    Name Office Sought Website Rafael Mandelman District 8 Supervisor Rafaelmandelman.com What San Francisco street/intersection would you choose for an epic street party and why? The corner of 18th and Castro has served as an historic and iconic gathering place for some of our city’s biggest moments. It’s been home to more protests than we can count and it has already been home to some of our LGBT community’s best parties like Halloween, Pink Saturday and the Castro Street Fair. All those rainbow flags seem to scream “Let’s party!” as they blow in the wind. Please list the 3 endorsements you are most proud of: Tom Ammiano, the California Nurses Association and the United Educators of San Francisco. What are the top three issues you will work on, and how will you implement solutions in a timely manner? (1250 character limit) Solving Street Homelessness: We need to expand Navigation Centers,work aggressively to keep vulnerable people housed and get homeless back into housing as quickly as possible,build new supportive housing and free up existing units by moving those who no longer need supportive housing into less expensive permanent housing, we need to dramatically expand our mental health and drug treatment capacity. Building Affordable Housing:As Supervisor I will work to ensure that we continue to build our fair share of market rate housing; however, my passion is housing for those who cannot rent or purchase at market prices, and we continue to woefully underproduce housing at those levels. I will be a tireless advocate for getting more vacant land and existing buildings into public and nonprofit ownership, securing the revenue we need to dramatically expand our production of below market rate housing and taking a hard look at our existing housing programs to ensure we are stretching our finite affordable housing dollars as far as possible.
