IRS990/Desc0The San Francisco Public Press serves our community in a meaningful way by contributing in-depth, contextual reporting and original data analysis to inspire civic engagement and public conversations about issues that are critical to the community. We focus our energy and resources on investigating stories that warrant sharp focus and critical thinking. On Jan. 25, 2018, we hosted a conference for more than 200 participants called "Solving Homelessness: A Community Workshop" - a one-day symposium and workshop that explored bold and creative ideas to solve homelessness in the Bay Area. The day included a panel discussion on the current state of homelessness, an analysis of homelessness reporting, and testimonials by individuals experiencing homelessness. Solution ideas were presented by community members and experts, who then explored the ideas together through facilitated workshops. Throughout 2018, we hosted and participated in many smaller public events to share the research from our investigative reporting projects with a wide range of communities around San Francisco. The spring edition of our quarterly newspaper featured special reports on the effects of federal temporary protected status policy changes on established immigrant communities, and on a San Francisco program that quickly rehouses families - sometimes outside the city - as part of our continuing series on solutions to homelessness. In advance of San Francisco's June 2018 election, our reporters produced extensive candidate profiles and nonpartisan analysis of local ballot measures, and in May, we co-hosted with three African-American political groups a nonpartisan candidate forum. It included moderated discussions with the candidates running in San Francisco races for mayor, District 8 supervisor, the 12th Congressional District, and Superior Court judge seats. Our summer issue focused on the Bay Area's affordable housing crisis. With a measure on the November ballot to repeal the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act - the 1995 state law limiting rent control - the Public Press looked deeply at potential housing solutions aimed at renters and landlords: a novel, expanded form of rent control; a tax on vacant units; limits on speculation; and mediation or free legal counsel for tenants being evicted. In September, we published a series of stories on education and partnered with two youth groups to host a lively debate with the candidates running for the San Francisco Board of Education. With our guidance and support, the event was led entirely by youth of color who chose the debate format, and sourced and asked all the questions. Their goal was to learn about the issues facing students and families of color and how the candidates planned to solve them. In the fall, we began investigating a lawsuit by tenants against the city's largest landlord of rent-controlled buildings. This led to a series of reports including intensive data analysis of complaints filed with the city's department of building inspection, and how the rate of violations changed over time. We also began reporting and publishing a series of stories on data privacy, exploring how new local and state laws could affect personal privacy and what data companies are allowed to gather - and sell - from publicly available data sets and about individuals who use their services. In December, we published the winter edition of the San Francisco Public Press, which featured stories about the city's efforts to alleviate homelessness and tackle the affordable housing crisis, as well as evolving controversies around digital privacy, charter schools and green gentrification. In 2018 we received two Excellence in Journalism awards from the Northern California Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists - one for our reporting on homelessness and one for print design.
