Community Conversation about the Richmond District Strategy

The Richmond District Strategy is a Planning Department initiative that seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the District’s current trends, needs, and opportunities in order to ensure a sustainable and high quality of life for the Richmond District now and in the future.

Whether you are a current resident or business owner in the Richmond, or you’re considering living or working in the neighborhood, your participation in this effort would help shape the community goals, and the policies to reach those goals. As a tenant, senior, immigrant, person of color, or member of a lower income household or family with children, the Planning Department especially encourages you to participate to tell us your needs and vision for the future.

In October 2015, they released the Community Needs Assessment Survey, receiving more than 1,400 responses by January 2016. The results are detailed in the Community Needs Assessment Survey report.

Since July 2016, the Planning Department has embarked on another round of outreach to seek feedback on our findings, establish community goals, and identify priorities. We plan to define these goals and priorities, in collaboration with community stakeholders, by early 2017. The Strategy will then use these established goals as a foundation for a series of solutions, policies, and funding priorities for the neighborhood that will also be established in collaboration with the community.
