Strategic Partnerships & Programs
We build coalitions that can actually deliver.
Breakthroughs happen when unusual partners row in the same direction. SAFER designs and runs programs that align jurisdictions, sectors, and industries around equitable development.
The Challenge
Siloed efforts stall progress. Housing is also an energy, transportation, technology, and climate issue – and requires coordinated action.
What we do
01
Multi-jurisdictional compacts that align regional priorities and timelines.
02
Cross-sector coalitions linking government, labor, community, philanthropy, and industry.
03
Program design & management with clear roles, milestones, and accountability.
04
Community voice at the center – from agenda-setting through implementation.
05
Funding strategies that braid public, private, and philanthropic capital.
Our Initiative
Ciudades Paralelas / Parallel Cities – a binational forum advancing: (1) Elevating community voices throughout planning. (2) Building coalitions across government, design, and grassroots expertise. (3) Investing in practitioners who lead with equity.
