"It's going to be a resource community center built for literacy and re-entry services and everything else in-between that the community needs," said Rudy Corpuz Jr., Executive Director of United Playaz said.MORE:"When you look at the statistics, people who can't read by the third grade most likely end up in prison. And so, we want to teach kids, not only how to read, but to understand what they're reading," Corpuz said.
"I was arrested in my development as a young man, because I gravitated toward that street and that's what this building is about, so these young people could gravitate towards this positivity that the city got to offer," Patrick, a United Playaz team member said. The City of San Francisco says this $20 million expansion was made possible because of a total of $15.4 million in federal, state and city support.Of that, $9.4 million came from the city.
"The fact that they are here today and doing this work, and want to do this work and want to help change and save lives, is extraordinary," Mayor London Breed said. "You don't get this kind of combination of support anywhere else, I think, in this city.""This building, will be to dispel fear and isolation and restore it with hope and community, peace, peace for people," Pelosi said.
