Our Mission
Our mission is to eliminate persistent poverty in the Bay Area by working with partners to transform low-income neighborhoods into vibrant, healthy communities.
Our Values
Our values reflect these shared principles for our work and for public systems that were created to serve all people fairly and equally.
Because Urban Strategies Council is not a single-issue organization, we are able to think and work holistically across silos, sectors, and jurisdictions. We partner with public agencies, grassroots organizing groups, and philanthropic organizations to catalyze lasting social change.
In order to move the needle on persistent poverty, we need to change the systems that are currently ineffective, and so we focus on reforming the systems that serve low-income communities.
