Last Saturday, February 18, the Southeast Community Center brought together hundreds of community members to celebrate Black History Month. The day gave families, friends, neighbors, and colleagues a great opportunity not only to participate in fun activities but also to learn more about the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood and how community leaders there have fought for equality.

Dr. Gina Fromer, CEO of Children’s Council of SF, currently sits as the Vice Chair of the Southeast Community Facility Commission. As Commissioner, she participates in community conversations to ensure that the promises made to the Southeast community are kept and that progress is made toward greater enhancements, such as the new Southeast Community Facility at 1550 Evans Avenue. “I am truly honored to serve my community and the people of the southeast section of San Francisco as a Commissioner. I continue to learn, grow, and be the change I hope to see,” said Fromer.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) today announced new investments totaling $7.25 million for stormwater management projects as part of the Green Infrastructure Grant Program. The SFPUC is providing the grants to six projects to transform local outdoor spaces, reduce flood risk, improve urban habitat, increase climate resilience, and improve coastal water quality.
