1 Our Impact Last year 6300 low- and moderate-income clients walked through our doors in the Mission Districtmore than four times the number of families we served in 2010. As income disparity widens across the nation and the City faces a housing crisis of unprecedented scale MEDAs efforts to empower San Franciscos lower-income and Latino families are more urgent than ever. MEDA is pioneering groundbreaking strategies to help families build assets achieve higher incomes and financial health and secure stable housing. Through the Mission Promise Neighborhood we are collaborating with the San Francisco Unified School District and a host of vital community partners to ensure that every child in the Mission District is on track to thrive from cradle to college and beyond. In 2014 we launched two new programs that will keep the Mission District inclusive and equitable for all. Our Community Real Estate program is our effort to preserve and produce 1070 units of affordable housing in the next five years. MEDAs Adelante Fund will provide accessible and affordable loans to businesses and residents. Projecting 90 small-business microloans and 225 consumer loans over the next three years Adelante Fund will generate new jobs and financial stability for our families. We have proudly served the Mission District for 42 years and this is a crucial moment in our trajectory to provide the leadership vision innovation and commitment necessary to ensure that San Franciscoand the Mission remains a community that low- and moderate-income Latino families can call their permanent home.
