Our Focuses

 
 
HBF Housing Equity

Housing Equity - Right to Return - Right to Stay

The City of Berkeley has begun to address displacement and divestment in Black communities by initiating a Right to Return/local preference policy. Healthy Black Families is the local community partner for this work. This policy will create a system in which low-income residents who have been displaced or are at risk of displacement from the city will be able to secure a safe, stable, affordable home in the city.

Healthy Food and Beverages

We educate communities on the health impact of sugar sweetened beverages (SSB) on community health and advocate for non-sugary beverage consumption for youth, children, families, community members, and staff at HBF. As a community based organization, Health Black Families, in partnership with Center for Food, Faith and Justice, continue to implement healthy eating and SSB health equity education and water promotion across all of our program and activities.
