The Neighborhood Support Center Program

The news of late is saturated with disasters of all sizes, types and location. A constant throughout all of this chaos has been the extraordinary role that neighborhoods have played in caring for each other. While helping people during times of stress is a universal mission of most community organizations, the capacity to do so in a rapid and effective manner requires agencies to make smart and sustained investments in both their internal systems and in relationships with the surrounding community.

The Neighborhood Support Center program offers organizations of all sizes a roadmap to guide their institution’s efforts in increasing their ability to meet the needs of their staff and clients as well as those of the residents, especially the vulnerable, that reside in close proximity.

Vision

Every resident of San Francisco, especially the most vulnerable, will get an adequate and sustained level of support to meet their health and well-being needs during times of stress.
