About Us

The Mayor’s Office of Community Investment (MOCI, formerly the Mayor’s Office of Community Development)’s mission is to partner with the community to strengthen the social, physical and economic infrastructure of San Francisco's low-income neighborhoods and communities in need. A primary means of achieving this mission is our administration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, a multi-million dollar federal program focused on low- and moderate-income communities. MOCI also administers the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) program, part of the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act funds. MOCI is now administering the City’s criminal justice funds previously administered by the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice.  These funds include the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act funds, City general funds, and a number of other state and federal grants that support the City’s criminal justice and violence prevention strategies. 

The primary objective of MOCI’s CDBG program is the development of viable urban communities, by providing decent housing and suitable living environment and expanding economic development opportunities principally for persons of low- and moderate-income.
MOCI’s ESG program is designed to be the first step in a continuum of assistance to prevent homelessness and to enable homeless individuals and families to move toward independent living.

The Department’s Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) funds support community-based programs that have proven effective in reducing crime and delinquency among at-risk youth and young offenders.


Citizen's Committee on Community Development (CCCD)


The Citizen's Committee on Community Development (CCCD) is the advisory body charged with public oversight of MOCI and the Mayor’s Office of Housing (MOH). Appointed by the Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco, this broad cross-section of the community holds public hearings, assists with the identification of community needs and formulation of program priorities, reviews proposals, makes funding recommendations on CDBG, ESG and HOME programs to the Mayor, and oversees MOCI and MOH activity throughout the year. Members serve on several committees - capital, housing, planning and administration, economic development and public services. The CCCD meets on a regular basis. Meeting dates and agendas can also be found on the website.
