3. Leadership development - through adult learning techniques, we identify, train and develop grassroots leaders interested in becoming public leaders on issues that affect them the most. We value a person's story and through experience and evaluation, leaders develop critical skills for public life. We have also developed leaders who have learned to fight unfair housing evictions for over one hundred residents. They have learned to create and implement an agenda and understand the importance of civic engagement.

4. Housing & tenants rights - our grassroots leaders help us understand the housing crisis through their personal experiences. We provide mentorship and resources to families in need, as well as the appropriate space to build trust. Our unhoused community in the greater sacramento valley has become one of our strongest partners, and we have developed a relational culture to seek common-sense solutions-led by impacted families.
