The Community Leadership Academy and Emergency Response (CLAER)

Located in Visitacion Valley in San Francisco, CLAER has been one of the leading frontline respondents in San Francisco attempting to deal with the root causes of violence and its residual impact on families for over five years. In the short time since our inception, CLAER staff has served over 200 families throughout San Francisco, representing over 700 individuals. Our asset-based model empowers indigenous residents to go beyond their individual victimization and take specific actions to influence local, state, and federal policy initiatives.
