Since 2007, the Community Living Campaign (CLC) has been charting a new path for what it means to age in community in San Francisco. CLC’s mission is to ensure older adults and adults with disabilities can age and thrive in their own homes and neighborhoods.

CLC organizes free community-based activities and programs like computer classes, healthy aging workshops, senior exercise groups, grocery deliveries, and job placements. These provide important practical support and empower neighbors to advocate for themselves and others. But more importantly, they create opportunities for folks to cultivate the supportive connections and friendships they need to age well at home.

CLC brings together neighbors, community organizations, academics, businesses, and City agencies to organize and advocate around issues that are too big for any of us to solve alone. Our two most recent initiatives are the SF Tech Council and the Dignity Fund Coalition. Together, we can create an inclusive San Francisco where people of all ages and abilities can truly live in community--with all of the rich relationships and opportunities that define a good life.

About the Program

CLC's Chinese Program has evolved to meet neighbors’ changing needs. In person activities at the neighborhood level include Tai Chi, dance, crotchet, photo walks, in-person tech help, video editing, and pot-luck celebrations. Online activities remain very popular, with over 30 weekly online computer classes, two weekly singing classes, four cultural celebrations, and a weekly cultural language exchange program that includes English practice, a Mandarin class, and other healthy aging topics.
