In-Kind Agreement Process
Eagle Plaza’s total budget is $1.85M. The plaza has received a majority (80%) of its needed funding from a $1.5M In-Kind Agreement (IKA) between the City and County of San Francisco (CCSF) and the owners of 1532 Harrison, an adjacent multi-family housing project approved in October 2015. This $1.5M received unanimous support from the Eastern Neighborhoods Citizens Advisory Committee (ENCAC) in September 2015, and unanimous approval from the San Francisco Planning Commission in February 2016.

Through this IKA, a portion of the infrastructure impact fees generated by 1532 Harrison funds city-approved portions of the design and construction costs of Eagle Plaza.
In addition, Eagle Plaza has also been awarded two major city grants to fund the plaza's design and construction: a $100,000 Complete Neighborhoods Grant from the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development and a $100,000 Community Challenge Grant from the City Administrator's Office.
In 2018 with $1.7M in funding identified, Friends of Eagle Plaza embarked on a $150,000 community fundraising campaign to close the remaining funding gap before ground breaking in early 2019.
