It is fundamental to working towards sustainable and equitable solutions so that everyone in our beautiful Bay Area can exist and persist with the dignity and respect necessary for a happy and healthy life." Check out the Spring 2021 "No Place Like Home" DeCal to learn more about the Bay Area's housing crisis, taught by our very own Grace Elam and Darice Wong!
