We believe in the power of community and human connection to make positive change. As a group, we are in agreement on how beneficial the block closure has been, and we have a shared vision for what it could be in the future. We are very encouraged by the broad support we have received from our community, and the active advocacy for our plan.
Home to 30,000 residents, including an estimated 3,500 children, the Tenderloin is one of the most diverse, culturally-rich neighborhoods in San Francisco. It is also one of the densest, with heavy traffic congestion and little in the way of green, open space. We want to change that.
Last year, the pandemic forced social service organizations to move our operations out onto the street. We were able to do so with a temporary block closure on Golden Gate Avenue, between Leavenworth and Jones. Turning crisis into opportunity, we’ve used the space to serve the community even more effectively than before, hosting things like outdoor voter registration, COVID-19 pop-up testing, and Play Streets events for children.
