Community Hubs Initiative
DCYF and the SF Recreation and Parks Department, in partnership with community-based agencies and other City departments, have implemented the Community Hub Initiative, a Citywide, neighborhood-based strategy to support children, youth, and families during the school year. Community Hubs provide support for students in grades K-12 who are utilizing SFUSD’s Distance Learning Curriculum, and prioritize children and youth with high levels of need.
The City utilizes a focused enrollment model for the Community Hub Initiative, and prioritizes families with these criteria:
Residents of HOPE SF, public housing, RVs and SROs
Families that are experiencing homelessness
Children in the foster care system
English language learners
Low-income families, with a focus on historically impacted communities, including people who identify as African American, Latino/a/x, Pacific Islander, and/or Asian.
Higher enrollment priority will be given to applicants who are multi-system involved, part of more than one of the priority populations, and families that do have no internet access at home and/or do not have digital learning devices.
In order to apply for the Community Hubs, people in the priority populations are required to have an application code. If you received an application code and you need help filling out your application, please send an email to info@dcyf.org.
If you did not receive an application code but you feel that you are part of the priority populations, please call 3-1-1. Important: 3-1-1 is not issuing registration codes for the Community Hubs. If you call 3-1-1, the operators will ask you about your eligibility for the Community Hubs (based on the criteria listed above), and if you are eligible they will refer you to DCYF.
How Enrollment Works:
For any media inquiries, please contact Dori Caminong.
