There are seven members of the Board of Commissioners, each appointed by
the Mayor of San Diego and confirmed by the City Council. Members bring a
broad range of experience and interest to the Board, including real
estate, finance and law, and two members must reside in Housing Commission
housing.
The Commissioners act as independent overseers of the San Diego Housing
Commission, and they review and make recommendations on all major housing
policy matters and financial commitments that come before the City Council
or Housing Authority. The CEO of the San Diego Housing Commission reports
to the Board of Commissioners. Through the CEO, the Board guides staff of
the agency.
Decisions around allocations of resources, changes or revisions in
policies of the Housing Commission, revisions to personnel policies,
actions on annual administrative and operating budgets, and other matters
key to the operation of the San Diego Housing Commission go before the
Board. (See
Housing Commission agendas.)
The resident Commissioners serve for terms of two years or until a
replacement is appointed. All other Commissioners serve for terms of four
years or until a replacement is appointed. By custom, commissioners do not
exceed two terms.
