Public Spending on Services At least $98 million public dollars is spent on services in Bayview Hunters Point and Visitacion Valley. Most of that money goes to:  Public Benefits like CalWORKS and Food stamps  Community Organizations for childcare vouchers, etc.  Youth development and employment training *SOURCE: Mayor’s Office of Communities of Opportunities/Bridgespan Analysis

The Challenge: Focusing Fund Resources  Every Community Building Area is important.  Fund not big enough to fix everything.  Are there places to focus resources that can create a chain reaction of change?

Methods for Task 1:Needs Assessments We Read 52 documents that described conditions or proposed action to improve conditions in the BVHP Area. Wrote a summary of the document. Put this information in a computerized database.

Methods for Task 1:Needs Assessments For each document we decided  What community building area(s) it addressed  Who produced it and why  How authors decided what community needed  If the authors put needs in any order  How the community was consulted (or not)

Methods for Task 2: Services & Providers Census We found 238 organizations operating 428 programs. We verified what community-building area and sub-area they serve. We verified their location of services. We produced a database of all of them for the CAC.

Selection of Initial Priorities We selected six initial priority areas that:  Were discussed in detail in several reports;  Had evidence that the need was not being addressed  Were identified through community process Were mentioned frequently in our interviews with community members.
