What if…
What if the neighborhood with the highest concentration of children and families in San Francisco, was also the best place to grow up?
The Tenderloin Youth Safety Zone envisions a neighborhood where youth of all ages don’t just survive…
they thrive!
From Protection to Possibilities:
The Youth Safety Zone transforms the Tenderloin from a neighborhood of protection into a neighborhood of possibility with three areas of focus:
Clean and Safe
Third Space Activations
Connected Youth
Clean and Safe:
A coordinated, collaborative approach prioritizing deterrence, prevention, and care.
A coordinated, collaborative, and culturally appropriate approach to placemaking in public spaces.
