The work of Tenants Together cannot be overlooked on this effort. They organized support and co-sponsored the legislation. I was proud to work beside Dean Preston and his team.
My son Osman Rosales was in the Mission Techies Program. I would like to thank Leo Sosa who ran this program and has made an impact in my son’s life. Not only my son feels confident about getting a job but also has improved his self confidence in technology skills. I want to thank MEDA but specially Leo for helping my son get access to a tech program.
The big tech companies should invest in rehabilitating properties to house their workers – win, win. What’s going to happen to all the pretty $3000 + studios when the turf wars begin? Or did you think the thousands of low income residents are going to just disappear without an ugly fight? Gentrification should include current residents first. All the slumlords taking advantage of the housing crisis to charge outrageous rents without so much as attempting to upgrade the shit holes they’re peddling should be fined.
Thank you very much for the nice report about us and our business 🙂 We feel so happy to be Back To Business!!!!! We are extending our free jewelry cleaning for the month of June 🙂
I realize there is confusion around all of this, and I am working on getting displaced artists back into this building. The owner’s proposed plan to the planning department provides a significant portion of preserved artists space. 24 studios total and art gallery…about half of them have access to natural light. If Chad and other artists would like more details please feel free to message me. There will not be the additional rental expenses as detailed in the blog, space will be rented based on the actual sq ft of the studio at $2-2.50 a sq ft with annual increases of 3%. There are 17 spaces still available, but we will have to wait till the planning department approves it for them to be constructed.

Amazing news! Congratulations to Leo Sosa and the MTA team!
Congratulations to Leo Sosa. He is one of the best technology program coordinators in the city of SF.
This really is wonderful news. I am so happy for Jordan and his acceptance to Year Up!
Hi Rachel,
Yes, Jordan was accepted into Year Up and thanks for your hard work with the Fall 2014 Mission Techies Program.
