The Barelas Community Coalition (BCC) creates spaces for low-income residents to get actively involved in all phases of the planning process. This includes identifying community needs, developing proposals, putting community projects into action, and negotiating with developers and city officials to leverage community power/influence to ensure the community benefits from development projects in the neighborhood.
The BCC is a 501(c)3 community-based organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Barelas through intergenerational organizing and building community alliances that enhance education; promote economic development and job opportunities; advocate for permanently affordable housing and housing rehabilitation; ensure the responsible redevelopment of the Barelas Railyards; and preserve the community’s heritage and historical resources.
