I just googled "low income","home ownership",San Francisco. I got
more hits than I can read in a lifetime. The PDF document
summarizing S.F. government/HUD help with low income first time home
ownership is two pages long. I have not read the details, so I do
not know whether the programs include ownership of the projects. It
will be good reading also for this weekend. My gosh, the poverty
pimps own this town!
