Community Development

People

Leadership matters. We partner with the most effective groups and individual leaders in our region

Organizations

We seed innovative ideas, embrace risk, and seek out partners who make a greater impact

Neighborhoods

We focus on solutions that begin at the neighborhood level, built on deep local understanding

Policy

We combine programs with policy, transforming successes on the ground into long-lasting change

Program Overview

We invest in change through community development because everyone should have a chance to share in the prosperity the Bay Area has to offer. We invest in housing stability and economic security to help families save and build assets to move up the economic ladder and create opportunity for generations of Bay Area families.
