Promoting Housing & Racial Justice Starts at Home with You
You can’t separate racial justice from housing justice. Generations of exclusionary policies and institutional racism have created an unjust housing system that fails communities of color, particularly Black and African American communities.
Strengthening those communities is how we move the whole Bay Area forward. And getting it right means being honest about how we got here, so we can take on the underlying systemic problems. It means taking on the way that oppression, racism, and inequity are baked into the structure of how housing is developed and delivered in our communities.
That’s why our vision at Hamilton Families is a simple one. We believe the San Francisco Bay Area is at its best when people from all backgrounds can start a life here, raise a family here, and thrive here. Hamilton Families envisions a Bay Area where housing is accessible and affordable, where homelessness is rare, brief, and nonrecurring, and where all people and families have a safe and stable place to live.
Promoting justice and equity starts at home. The fight against complacency and the status quo starts at home. A diverse, equitable, thriving Bay Area starts at home.
Let’s build those homes and strengthen our neighborhoods so that families don’t face displacement.
Let’s make sure all of us, especially those who have been locked out for generations, have a decent place to come home to. That’s the future our community deserves.
In community,
