Urban Habitat Program

Urban Habitat works to advance equitable transportation, land use, and housing policies in the Bay Area. This grant will support their work to ensure the region’s land-use and transportation plan incorporates equity, environment, and jobs as high priorities, particularly for disadvantaged communities. Through its work with environmental and social justice groups, Urban Habitat aims to improve quality of life in the poorest neighborhoods, while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution through improved public transportation and transit-oriented development.
