Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center (BHNC) is a small nonprofit based in San Francisco that seeks to preserve and enhance the neighborhood's ethnic, cultural, and economic diversity across Bernal Heights and nearby communities. It aims to foster community action that leads to a just and equitable city, with a particular focus on residents with low to moderate incomes. The center pursues its goals by developing affordable housing throughout San Francisco and by delivering services that are linguistically and culturally responsive to the area’s most vulnerable adults, seniors, youth, and families. It also emphasizes leadership development and collective action, empowering tenants, clients, members, and allies to advocate for their needs and for broader community priorities. The Housing Program, carried out through the Bernal Heights Housing Corporation, works to provide and preserve stable, affordable homes for low-income adults and their children, including those facing homelessness or special needs due to mental health issues, HIV/AIDS, or substance use problems.
