The East Cut Community Benefit District is one of 16 property assessment districts in San Francisco and more than 1,000 nationwide. The most common funding mechanism for these districts is to levy a special assessment on properties within the district’s boundaries to fund services above-and-beyond what cities can provide. Overseen by a board of property owners, residents, nonprofits, and institutional partners, our work begins on the street with The East Cut CBD’s Street Services and Safety Team in the neighborhood 24 hours a day, seven days a week, keeping sidewalks and public open spaces clean, safe, and inviting. That daily presence informs everything else we do. It gives us the standing to work alongside City leaders on challenges that reach beyond any one block, and the relationships to build community through park stewardship and programming that bring neighbors together. Together, this work raises The East Cut’s profile as a place to live and do business.
The East Cut is one of San Francisco’s premier mixed-used neighborhoods, evolving from a transit hub into a vibrant, mixed-use community where residents, workers, and visitors come together. With striking high-rises, thriving small businesses, and reimagined public spaces like The Crossing at East Cut and Salesforce Park, the neighborhood offers a dynamic urban experience rooted in both innovation and history.
