MEDA is using our 47 years of experience to keep Latinos and working families in the Mission District and help them thrive. We are investing in people's lives through affordable housing, career and small-business development, financial coaching, education, and policy & advocacy.
Mission:
Rooted in the Mission and focused on San Francisco, MEDA’s mission is to strengthen low- and moderate-income Latino families by promoting economic equity and social justice through asset building and community development.
Vision:
We envision generations of Latino families with sufficient assets to thrive. Inspired by the past and present life of the Mission District, families are rooted in vibrant, diverse and forward-thinking communities, have opportunities to grow, and are actively engaged in the civic and political life of their neighborhoods and the institutions that affect their lives.
