When you submit this application we will send them an email to let them know. 

Alternate Contact

The following is about the address where your or your family was displaced from in the 1960s or 1970s.
 
 
Include as much information as you can. We need this information to check records from the Redevelopment Agency. If you don't know the answer then it's okay to leave it blank.

If none of the above apply to you then you are probably not eligible for the COP preference.
 If you have questions email us at <a target="_blank" href="mailto:sonia.mcdaniel@sfgov.org">sonia.mcdaniel@sfgov.org</a> or call us at 415-701-5500.

Only include the Street Address. Ex. 123 Main Street Unit 4

This date should be in the 1960s or 1970s. Enter your best estimation.

Eligibility 

We need to know about the head of the household who was displaced by the Redevelopment Agency. We use this information to check records.

This person might have had a COP certificate number. If you don't know it then leave this answer blank.

To be eligible, you must be related to the displaced person through a direct parent-child lineage. A guardian might not have been a parent.  

What is the name of your parent/guardian who is related to the head of household through a parent-child lineage?

What is the name of your grandparent who is related to the head of household through a parent-child lineage?

What is the name of your great grandparent who is related to the head of household through a parent-child lineage?

We would like to know if there was a 2nd head of the household who was displaced by the Redevelopment Agency.

In addition to the head of household, tell us who else was living there.

Displaced head of household

We would like to know how people plan to use their Certificates of Preference.

For example, if you will be living with 2 other people then enter 3. 
If you will be living by yourself then enter 1.

If you are interested in both then check both boxes. 

Your housing plans

We use this information for demographic purposes. You will need to give us more detailed income calculations when you apply for housing.

Add up total pre-tax income per year from wages, benefits, and other sources for everyone in your household. If you know your monthly income then multiple that by 12. 

Your income

Help us ensure we are meeting our goal to serve all people.
 
 
These questions are optional and won't affect your eligibility for housing. Your answers will be kept private.

Demographics

If you move into a new unit provided by this program, will anyone else living in your household be a veteran?
