What We Do

Affordable Housing

When people gain access to fair, reasonably-priced housing, good things happen. We work to increase the availability, experience, and quality of housing for low-income residents across City Heights.

Transportation & Planning

Communities don’t happen by accident, they’re built. Roads, sidewalks, bike and bus lanes are planned, and we work to make sure they’re planned in a healthy, safe, family-friendly way for the residents of City Heights.

Eviction Prevention

We launched One Month Away, a new way to prevent evictions and homelessness, just months before the COVID-19 pandemic, and the timing turned out to be critical. Now we’ve launched the new Coordinated Eviction Prevention System (CEPS) Program to keep even more families safely housed and off the streets.

Resident Services

Fair, healthy housing is only the first step. We believe in caring for whole people and whole families as they work to secure better employment, pursue higher education, and a better life for their family.

City Heights BID and MAD

The City Heights Business Improvement District and Maintenance Assessment District partner with local businesses, property owners, and residents to boost small businesses and deliver a clean and safe University Avenue corridor.

Economic Development

Resilient businesses are crucial to enhancing the quality of life in City Heights, and that’s why we spend so much time helping coach and promote businesses in the community. See how we support the local economy by clicking below.

New Roots Community Garden

New Roots began as a way to help community members earn income, but it has become so much more! Many farmers were once refugees, migrants, and displaced people who have found a home in this beautiful eden. Learn more below.
