The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) was created in 1948 by California state law. Initially the agency was not a separate department, but rather the functions were carried out by various city departments. In the 1950s, the organization formed its own city department.

Starting in 1989, the agency started to use tax increment financing as a major source of their funding; which prompted the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors initiated a policy requiring that half of the agency's tax increment financing be used towards affordable housing in San Francisco.
