- SOMCAN
South of Market Community Action Network was founded in 2001 by a group of grassroots organizations committed to serving the needs of youth, seniors, veterans, the Filipino community, low-income residents, and the homeless in the South of Market neighborhood. Initially we came together informally in response to the unprecedented and unrestricted level of gentrification and displacement that we were seeing in our community, which included individual residents, small businesses, and non-profit organizations. Our goal was to support community members in immediate threat of eviction in the form of offering space for meetings, assisting with needed resources, and providing a collective voice. We found that this form of community organizing was very successful at leveraging the power needed for residents to be heard and achieve their goals - Mission St., San Francisco, CA.
