-
Securing emergency eviction moratoria in each BARHII member county and at the state
-
Catalyzing the creation of Chief Equity Officers in emergency operations
-
Advancing flexible cash-aid programs for Bay Area families
-
Producing toolkits, trainings, and learning communities to advance an equitable response and recovery

"Addressing poverty can in part be done at the local level, but the bigger question is what will it take to build a broader base of constituent interest to win? The constituent base to win and glued together is at the regional level—aligning local and county programs and budgets in a regional context that can also impact and inform legislative action at the state level. That is why we need Rise Together."
