CIVIC MINDED NEIGHBORHOOD ADVOCACY

Community serving
drilling down on the issues impacting Hayes Valley

Our approach

Guided by principals which we strive to uphold while we navigate through San Francisco’s complex civics & neighborhood politics

Review

Only through thorough review of the facts, processes and connections with stakeholders are we able to serve the neighborhood clearly with a concise overview of the initiatives/issues for community awareness and solutions.

Collaboration

We support and encourage neighbors and businesses to participate in the civic process. In an effort to advance common good, we seek a bilateral forum of communication between neighbors and City Agencies.

Neighborhood Advocates HAVE KEY Role

While community advocates cannot guarantee greater participation, experience has shown me that they can help increase resident involvement in community development processes. Community advocates can be the difference between a successful project with strong community input and buy-in or an unsuccessful one with limited community involvement and neighborhood indifference.
