The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, founded by Dr Priscilla Chan and her husband, Facebook CEO March Zuckerberg, is donating over $3 million to help combat San Francisco's affordable housing crisis. The majority of funding, $3.1 million, will go to Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto to address the current hardships caused by the housing shortage in the San Francisco suburbs near Facebook’s headquarters. A $500,000 grant also goes to the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley to help generate long-range solutions to the region’s housing predicament.
