Nonprofit Overview

Mission: We exist to uplift Latino families in East Palo Alto and the mid-peninsula through community education, leadership development, and advocacy.
Target demographics: elevate the voices of our community members for lasting change.
Direct beneficiaries per year: Thousands of community residents stabilize their families and engage in environmental and housing justice advocacy.
Geographic areas served: East Palo Alto, North Fair Oaks, Belle Haven
Programs: Community Outreach - we ensure community members understand what safety net and affordable housing resources are available and we help them apply. Environmental Justice: We’re proud to be leading an effort towards environmental justice that expands beyond our local communities to broader San Mateo County. Nuestra Casa advocates, informs, and trains members of our community to become environmental justice leaders. By teaching and unlocking local communities of color’s leadership potential, they can understand, develop, and prioritize local solutions to more comprehensively address environmental equity and justice issues. We believe our community can do more than survive in this climate reality. Housing: Our housing advocacy goal is to protect and preserve the existing housing supply in our neighborhoods. To do so, Nuestra Casa is uplifting and amplifying the voices of our Spanish-speaking and immigrant community.
