Our Programs
Environmental Justice
As the historical industrial center of San Francisco, Bayview Hunters Point contains a large number of hazardous waste sites and is a longtime home to marginalized populations. We tap into our strong networks of neighborhood residents, researchers, and local decision-makers to build community-based knowledge and power on issues of environmental justice, land use, and economic development.
Our community-led initiatives train residents to interface with governmental agencies; to collect, analyze and visualize toxic site data; and to launch their own public-serving cooperative businesses. Our goal is to empower our neighbors to take on significant roles in a safer and healthier community.
Community Outreach
Homelessness Outreach
Our outreach workers canvass encampments and vehicular housing daily to assess needs and provide unhoused families with free food boxes, hot meals and household supplies. We also connect unhoused neighbors with housing resources.
Public Health
As the primary San Francisco-based partner of the regional UMOJA Health COVID-19 initiative, we recruit, train and lead youth and volunteers to reach marginalized communities and vulnerable populations who need education, testing, vaccination, and connection to treatment.
