Health Priority Areas & Strategies

April 30, 2026 Draft

The Health document addresses five priority areas: community-based health solutions, access to health services, mental health and physical well-being, health equity and disease prevention, and food access and healthy retail.

The document's framing centers on bringing health services into trusted spaces rather than requiring residents to navigate distant or unfamiliar institutions. Specific strategies include expanding mobile care and health screenings, delivering outreach through barbershops and faith-based organizations, building neighbor-to-neighbor support for seniors, and developing emergency preparedness infrastructure. On access, the document calls for expanded enrollment in Healthy SF, improved transit access for seniors, pharmacy strengthening, and patient navigation support. The mental health section explicitly names the need for Black and culturally responsive providers and targets social isolation for seniors. The disease prevention section names cardiovascular disease, diabetes, HIV, prenatal and maternal health for Black mothers, and overdose prevention as specific focus areas. The food access section addresses the absence of a full-service grocery store — calling for cooperative ownership models, corner store upgrades, and an expanded farmers market.

  • Community-based wellness services in trusted neighborhood spaces — barbershops, salons, faith institutions, housing sites
  • Increased enrollment and navigation for Healthy SF and Medi-Cal; "Know Your Rights" patient advocacy
  • Black and culturally responsive health providers — physicians, nurses, dentists
  • Targeted prevention for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, HIV, and Black maternal health
  • Full-service grocery store with cooperative ownership model; corner store upgrades; expanded farmers market

Housing Priority Areas & Strategies

May 7, 2026 Draft

The Housing document is the most direct in naming the historical harm it is responding to. Its five priority areas are: stability and anti-displacement, access and navigation, homeownership and intergenerational wealth-building, affordable housing preservation, and equitable housing production.

The stability section calls for support of Black-led tenant protection organizations, resident organizing, and community land trust models. The access section gives specific attention to the Certificate of Preference — calling for expansion of the COP Descendant Program to all city-sponsored housing and improved outreach and placement support through culturally competent partners. The homeownership section addresses legacy homeowners through home repair resources, estate planning, and intergenerational transfer assistance. The preservation section calls for community acquisition of at-risk rental properties and addresses deferred maintenance in RAD and HUD-funded buildings. The production section calls for intentional outreach to ensure new affordable housing serves Black households, including those previously displaced.

  • Support Black-led tenant protection and housing stabilization organizations; build resident organizing power
  • Expand and strengthen the Certificate of Preference Descendant Program through culturally competent outreach and placement
  • Support legacy homeowners through home repair, estate planning, and intergenerational transfer assistance
  • Community-driven acquisition of at-risk rental housing; address deferred maintenance in RAD and HUD buildings
  • New housing production intentionally targeted to previously displaced Black families; support Black-led housing developers

Economic Development Priority Areas & Strategies

May 19, 2026 Draft

The Economic Development document addresses four priority areas: marketing and destination-driven programming, business attraction, small business support and investment, and merchant and community engagement.

The marketing section calls for corridor events and activations in partnership with artists, merchants, and cultural groups to increase both foot traffic and cultural identity along Fillmore. The business attraction section proposes broker and leasing services to fill commercial vacancies, with explicit prioritization of businesses from the Western Addition and Black-owned businesses citywide. The small business support section calls for technical assistance across the full business cycle — startup through scale-up — including legal services, accounting, marketing, e-commerce, and expansion support, and names Black-owned businesses for capital access. The merchant engagement section calls for cooperative economic models: merchant associations, entertainment districts, and community benefit districts as tools for community-led corridor governance.

  • Fillmore corridor events and activations with cultural identity anchoring; coordinated promotion with community stakeholders
  • Broker and leasing services prioritizing Black-owned and Western Addition business attraction
  • Technical assistance and capital access (grants and loans) across all stages of the business cycle
  • Cooperative economic models and community-led corridor governance structures

Workforce Development Priority Areas & Strategies

May 19, 2026 Draft

The Workforce document addresses four priority areas: youth leadership and early career exposure, access and inclusion in workforce services, high-quality training and lifelong learning, and employer partnerships and community hiring.

The youth section names specifically marginalized sub-populations: foster youth, justice-involved youth, undocumented youth, disconnected TAY, and youth experiencing housing instability. It calls for paid work-based learning, sector-based career exposure, and long-term career network connections beyond initial program participation. The access section calls for neighborhood-based employment services and specifically addresses barriers to City employment and civil service hiring processes — a direct acknowledgment that public sector pathways, historically a route to the Black middle class, have become increasingly difficult to access. The training section calls for sector-based pathways in construction, healthcare, hospitality, and tech, and explicitly includes arts workforce pathways. The employer partnership section calls for local hiring requirements and targeted recruitment connecting businesses to diverse local talent.

  • Paid work-based learning and career exposure for in-school and out-of-school youth
  • Specific support for youth facing compounded barriers: foster care, justice involvement, housing instability, disability
  • Neighborhood-based employment services with civil service and City hiring pathway support
  • Sector-based training in construction, healthcare, tech, and the arts
  • Local hiring requirements and employer partnerships for diverse and equitable recruitment

Placemaking, Arts & Culture Priority Areas & Strategies

June 4, 2026 Draft

The Placemaking document is the broadest of the five, addressing six priority areas: arts and culture, neighborhood identity and placemaking, recreation and public space, transit and neighborhood access, public safety, and future opportunities on key sites.

The arts and culture section centers Black art as an economic driver, not merely a cultural amenity. It calls for dedicated performance and gathering spaces, arts workforce pathways, and the preservation of legacy Black arts and media institutions. The neighborhood identity section calls for community-led murals, memory walks, interpretive signage honoring displaced communities, and protection and restoration of significant buildings and legacy Black businesses. The public space section calls for sustainable, multigenerational spaces with economic participation opportunities for neighborhood vendors. The transit section centers seniors, youth, and people with disabilities. The public safety section is community-centered — calling for ambassadors, trusted messengers, conflict mediation, and expansion of mental health responders and trauma-informed support over policing. The key sites section calls for community-identified activation of underutilized and vacant properties through public-private partnerships.

  • Black art recognized and funded as an economic engine; expanded spaces and venues for Black creatives
  • Memory walks, interpretive signage, and community murals honoring displaced communities
  • Protection and restoration of legacy Black businesses and cultural institutions
  • Community-led public safety: ambassadors, conflict mediation, mental health responders, and trauma-informed support
  • Community-identified activation of underutilized and vacant sites through public-private partnerships
