Pocket Gardens is a project created by Refuse Refuse to beautify San Francisco by planting native species in untended tree wells on city streets. To ensure that plots aren’t abandoned, Pocket Gardens will track the locations of our ever-expanding collection of gardens, assign volunteers to specific plots, alert them to upcoming maintenance needs, and collect maintenance reports.
Social service providers across the Bay Area face a persistent challenge: not always a shortage of resources, but a knowledge gap. New programs launch without broad announcement.

SafeHome is a user-friendly website to help a user determine the earthquake risk level of an SF address.

Try it out at safehome.report!
