What is the First Source Hiring Program?

The First Source Hiring Program (First Source) was enacted in 1998 under Chapter 83 of the City’s Administrative Code and is administered by the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD). The First Source Hiring Program requires that developers, contractors, and employers use good-faith efforts to hire economically disadvantaged San Franciscan residents for new entry level positions.

The First Source Hiring Program provides a ready supply of qualified workers to employers with employment needs, and it gives economically disadvantaged individuals the first opportunity to apply for entry level positions in San Francisco. Entry level positions are defined as those requiring less than two years of training or specific preparation and includes temporary and permanent jobs.
