HOPE SF, Office of the Mayor, City and County of San Francisco  

Position Summary Overview

The Policy Director for Community Wellness directs and designs trauma-informed policies and programs related to family and community health and wellness for the HOPE SF initiative. The goal of the position is to dramatically improve healing, wellness and trauma informed ecosystems across the HOPE SF communities by advancing policies and practices that counter the symptoms of community trauma and support healing, connection and power between families.

A public-private partnership led by Mayor Breed, the San Francisco Foundation, and Enterprise Community Partners, the Partnership for HOPE SF is the nation’s first large-scale community development effort to rebuild public housing into vibrant, racially equitable and inclusive mixed-income communities without displacement of original residents. We believe that the symptoms of community trauma across are neighborhoods are the product of decades of intentional and racialized economic, political and social isolation, a lack of investment in economic development for the maintenance and improvement of the built environment, the loss of social capital with the flight of middle class families, and the segregation of poverty and exposures to high levels of violence.

Mobilizing nearly $2.5 billion over twenty years, our public private partnership envisions a San Francisco where race and place are not barriers to opportunity and prosperity within the City.
