WEALTH BUILDING FRAMEWORK, CO-DESIGNED WITH RESIDENTS, IS COMPLETE
|
|
|
| The HOPE SF Wealth Framework provides the overarching vision and framing for the Partnership for HOPE SF. It represents the next evolution of the reparations framework (repairing systemic harm) that shaped HOPE SF for the past several years. It was co-designed in 2021 by the Partnership for HOPE SF, the Insight Center for Community Economic Development, and 13 HOPE SF Resident Consultants. It was informed by community-based, participatory research findings about economic mobility conducted by Young Community Developers in 2020. Read more about the framework here. |

HOPE SF’s Sunnydale community was the site of Mayor London Breed's press conference and panel on housing in October with HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Wiener, and other local leaders. “California…has the biggest problems, but it also has some of the biggest solutions,” said HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge. “We just need to scale them up.”

All My Usos brings volunteers together to support and celebrate our Samoan community in Sunnydale, Visitacion Valley, and other southeast neighborhoods through community-based events, resources, and information. In September 2021, All My Usos used funding from the Small Grants Program to organize a Backpack Giveaway/Health Fair which provided a safe, trusted space for families to get COVID-19 testing and gain health and wellness knowledge. The event also provided access to much-needed school supplies and personal and protective equipment (PPE).

PARTNERSHIP FOR HOPE SF HOSTS A CONVERSATION WITH FUNDERS
|
|
The Partnership for HOPE SF convened more than 40 government and philanthropic leaders together with HOPE SF residents to learn about and reflect on our vision of holistic wealth-building that prioritizes resident voice, focuses on systems change and builds collaboration across sectors. The wealth-building framework was the result of a strategic design process that has deeply engaged residents.
Following a presentation of the Partnership for HOPE SF's Wealth Framework, Elizabeth Hawkins from Genentech (a HOPE SF funder) said, "One of the things that is exciting and energizing about HOPE SF is how you have hit pause to course correct, listen to residents, and create space for them to provide constructive criticism and feedback. Very few organizations are willing to go slower to go further in this work."
We look forward to continuing this work together. We are so grateful to the resident consultants and funders for their support and contributions throughout this journey!
