10 Years in the Making
How the LA Street Vendor Campaign reaches thousands of precarious workers across Los Angeles and beyond.
OUR COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION MODEL
As corporate interests continue to merge, the average family doesn’t have the resources to fight the machine. We propose tangible solutions to combating the negative effects of gentrification — displacement, development without community involvement — through our comprehensive programs and services composed around three core strategies: building community, asset development, and financial empowerment.
TOGETHER
We believe in accountable, community-driven development, equitable housing, transformation through socio-economic justice, and building wealth through financial empowerment.
POWER BUILDING
We cultivate leadership and facilitate civic engagement to ensure responsible economic development that benefits current residents. We provide the megaphone for a series of issues that others might find intimidating.
COMMUNITY CAPITAL
We’re strategizing across multiple neighborhoods to create housing and community spaces that retain our culture while improving the quality of life for those we serve.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
We educate families and individuals on financial tools, their rights as consumers, and free resources that help them build and sustain their assets and wealth to transcend generations.
CULTURAL VITALITY
Cultural vitality is the catalyst behind all of our work, responding to and inspiring community innovation and resulting in a sense of inter-generational belonging, participation, and empowerment.
