Downtown is the heart and soul of our City, and we desire to make it everybody’s neighborhood. Featuring iconic landmarks such as the Tower of Americas, the Alamo and the Riverwalk, San Antonio must protect its most vital and historical resources, and invest to create a more desirable place for locals. The vision for the redevelopment of Hemisfair is to create a vital mixed use area, centered on a city park which maintains and revitalizes the historic buildings while reconnecting the area to the adjacent neighborhoods and providing new mixed use development, compatible in scale with adjacent properties. Hemisfair Park will continue to be an accessible neighborhood park that unifies the city, serves as a community gathering place, and provides an opportunity for citizens to work, live, and play. Hemisfair Park will offer many special places and uses; some active, some quiet. This vision will foster community-wide impact by recognizing the Hemisfair Park area as critical connecting tissue between previously disengaged sectors of the urban core. Capitalizing on the success of HemisFair ’68, the plan’s improvements will encourage economic vitality, pride and a sense of community for generations of San Antonians now and yet to come.

90% of all men and women relapse within the first 90 days of leaving treatment or detox. Without a positive, safe and encouraging environment in which to live these newly recovering individuals hardly stand a chance.

Every day, we help heal the devastating effects of addiction by providing structured residential and assistance programs that reduce & prevent homelessness, unemployment, poverty and crime caused by substance abuse.

In 2006, Southwest Workers Union began an Eastside sustainability initiative in response to the struggle to defeat further development of fuel storage tanks. An integral part of our local movement for climate justice in San Antonio has been the development of home-grown solutions that are culturally-appropriate and led by those who are most affected by the local causes of climate change (coal fired power plants). While the potential for a vibrant green economy in San Antonio is growing, the grassroots communities have little understanding and education about what ‘green’ means nor how it is beneficial and accessible for low-income families. To date, the SWU complex has acquired over an acre of unused brownfield land. In 2006, we began the process of transformation into a functioning community garden, the first food producing community space in the City. We aim to build upon this success byfurther developing the SWU complex as the first grassroots-level sustainability center in San Antonio. 1416 E. Commerce San Antonio, TX 78205
