Do you like to volunteer?
Our program is anticipating new developments coming up by early next year from Mayor’s Office on Housing and Community De-
velopment. Because of this, we will need volunteers who can assist in filling-up applications for Below Market Program housing
applications. We will train volunteers in filling-up the applications and inform them about BMR requirements and qualifications.
Bi-lingual is definitely a plus: Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Arabic, Tagalog. But if you're only speaking English, you're still
welcome to volunteer! If you're a student and needs a class credit, you're more than welcome to volunteer! Schedule is flexible and
we’ll work around your time!
We are hoping that volunteers can also be contacted every time a new development comes out!
If you're interested please contact:
Caroline Calderon at [email protected] or call at 415-255-2347.
