Village Buildout

Renovation to expand and increase community activity space for Visitacion Valley

The Village is a multi-service community center managed by San Francisco’s Visitacion Valley Community Development Corporation (VVCDC). Open to all residents, the center offers critical comprehensive services to children, adults and families in Visitacion Valley.

Building on a commitment to meaningful partnerships, The Village effectively models cross-community cooperation for all Valley residents and makes significant contributions to thousands of lives and to the rebirth of this historic neighborhood.

The Village members are neighborhood-based collaborations. Their mission is to serve the diverse residents of Visitacion Valley with a continuum of critical services for families. The members offer culturally competent public programs, with services that encourage and support individual and community growth by providing access to opportunities. These include childcare, early childhood education, healthcare, counseling, youth development, civil rights education, job training and retention, and violence prevention, as well as computer training, education, and affordable housing advocacy.

To better accommodate these many services, the VVCDC is undertaking an extensive renovation that will modify over 4,000 square feet of space. The project will give local service providers an additional 3,000 square foot space to use for classes and community activities.
