HOMEWORK CLUB: Established in 2000, at Minna Russ Family Apartments, the homework club has developed a tutorial assistance program for children who reside in the SOMA area. Through the assistance of volunteers, the Homework club has helped raise the level of achievement for most of the students participating in this program. The response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive.

FINANCIAL LITERACY: In an effort to provide further assistance to our residents in their quest to become homeowners, we have developed a financial literacy program that educates residents about issues ranging from budgeting, establishing and repairing credit, along with other valuable resources to help them along the way.

We are also teaching young people the importance of savings and other financial lessons, through a series of mock financial excercises, rewarding them at the end of school year, if they meet their goal.

COMMUNITY DISASTER PREPARDNESS: Workshops on Earthquake Prepardness, Fire Safety and overall disaster prepardness, are available to residents/organizations of San Francisco.
