Learn how UWBA supports and works with local Community Partners
As part of UWBA’s Housing Justice Initiative grantmaking efforts, in 2023, $750,000 was awarded to a total of 25 local Bay Area organizations. The grants will help increase access to stable and affordable housing, address the racial wealth gap, prevent homelessness, and support organizations engaged in policy advocacy around the issue. Nine of the grants, totaling $250,000 were decided by a community-led panel of 7 UWBA Ambassadors with lived experience facing housing insecurity in the region.
