		When Community Leads: A New Future for Housing When Community Leads: A New Future for Housing Event Details Email office@sfinterfaithcouncil.org Phone Number 4154741321 About this Event Join us to hear how The Affordability Project works, why it is succeeding in one of the most challenging housing markets in the world, and what it could mean for the future of our city. Whether you care about housing, philanthropy, public policy, or community impact, this conversation offers practical insight and real possibility. Come be part of a room where bold ideas meet measurable results and where the next chapter of affordable housing innovation is already being written. Housing affordability in San Francisco can feel like an unsolvable equation. The Affordability Project is proving otherwise. Founded in 2021, it is building affordable workforce housing completely not-for-profit, without public funds or for-profit investors, powered by philanthropic partners committed to keeping the people who sustain our city housed in the communities they serve . Its inaugural 100-unit development at 5250 3rd Street is funded entirely through donations and is moving forward at a fraction of the typical cost and timeline.

They quietly protect our families, our congregations, and our neighborhoods every single day. Yet many parts of San Francisco's water system are nearly 100 years old. The oldest sections of our sewer system date back to the Gold Rush. These essential systems require ongoing maintenance and major upgrades to continue serving our city safely and reliably. To prevent main breaks, ensure dependable service, and improve seismic safety, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is replacing aging water and sewer infrastructure. Your rates help fund this work. To continue delivering the services that San Franciscans rely on, the SFPUC is proposing water and sewer rate increases, effective July 1, 2026. Taking action now will save money in the long run. The longer we wait to make necessary upgrades, the more costly they become. We invite you to join us for an upcoming presentation where SFPUC staff will: Explain the proposed rate changes Share why upgrades are urgently needed Discuss available assistance programs Answer your questions directly You can also learn more in advance at: sfpuc.gov/2026-rates.

WHAT: “The Science of God and its power to transform us,” a talk by practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker, Nikki O’Hagan. The talk will focus on universal healing precepts found in the Holy Bible, especially in Christ Jesus’ life and teachings, showing how they are available for anyone to understand and experience through the lens of Christian Science. The talk is free, open to the community, and hosted by First Church of Christ, Scientist San Francisco WHY: After experiencing a seemingly miraculous healing herself, Nikki began to question her assumptions about God. “Was it just an inexplicable anomaly that had no scientific explanation?” She asks, “Or is there a science that can explain this kind of healing? Is there a science that enables us to understand and experience God?” Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, O’Hagan will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement, Mary Baker Eddy. O’Hagan will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy, and how she came to understand, confirm, and teach what she felt was original Christian healing. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand, “He that believes on me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do, because I go unto my Father” (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible). For over 150 years, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today, with healings of physical ills and personal difficulties. WHEN: Thursday, March 5 @7:30 - 8:30 PM WHERE: 1700 Franklin Street (corner of California) Free parking at Whole Foods / lower level WHO: Nikki O’Hagan, has been a Christian Science practitioner for many years, helping people on a daily basis through this scientific approach to prayer. She travels from her home base in Naas, County Kildare, Ireland, to speak to audiences around the world as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.
