About the PAC

Our Mission

Mosaic (Bayview Community Center, 1967)

The community entrusts the Bayview Hunters Point Project Area Committee (PAC) with the responsibility of providing advice, recommendation, and direction to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. Through the development of a Concept Plan that specifically details the exigency of the community, the PAC's and the community's participation in the revitalization of the Bayview Hunters Point will result in a blueprint of empowerment and revitalization that is in the best interest of the current Bayview Hunters Point residents, businesses and community organizations. Our interest is in fostering accessibility and availability to the ambient factors needed to become a vibrant, family-oriented and exciting economically viable community.

The PAC's mission represents a combination of policies and strategies, which promote the following elements:

• Economic and Employment Development: Insist on job creation and economic viability with a policy of Bayview Hunters Point first. Included and encouraged is the promotion of entrepreneurial opportunities.

• Education and Training: Insist on access to the necessary academic, skills training and resources required to fully and equally participate in the workforce and society at large.

Improve the attractiveness of the area for the enjoyment of all local residents and visitors to San Francisco. Provide for community education and comprehensive health services and amenities to make the Bayview Hunters Point a pleasant place to live, work and visit.

• Community Fabric: Ensure that the revitalization process is not oppressive and segregating to the social make-up of the Bayview Hunters Point, and that the current positive attributes/fibers of the community reign strong. This means a proactive focus on the characteristics of the Bayview Hunters Point and celebrate the unique history and diversity of the Bayview Hunters Point's social make-up.
