About

Civic San Diego in downtown San Diego was established in 2012 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to oversee the wind-down of California's dissolved redevelopment agency obligations within the city. Its redevelopment successor work intersects with the below-market-rate housing pipeline managed by Housing Development Partners on several downtown infill sites. Operating under a city agreement from its Civic Center Way offices, the organization manages construction projects on behalf of the City of San Diego while administering remaining tax-increment obligations from the former Centre City Development Corporation era, including below-market-rate housing covenants. Civic San Diego shares a board of directors with Civic Community Partners, which deploys New Markets Tax Credits to channel capital into severely distressed census tracts across San Diego County, a community-lending function that complements the broader regional strategies at San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp. The organization's most complex ongoing mandate involves final disposition of multi-parcel redevelopment obligations that span infrastructure bonds, income-restricted housing covenants, and public-improvement commitments dating to the 1990s downtown master plan.
