Mission

Pacoima Beautiful is a grassroots environmental justice organization that provides education, impacts public policy, and supports local arts and culture in order to promote a healthy and sustainable San Fernando Valley. Pacoima Beautiful evolved from being a beautification committee to an independent non-profit environmental organization as the participating community members and the staff became more knowledgeable about the environmental problems in the community, the potential consequence on the health of the residents, particularly the children and the need for an organization to deal with these issues.

Our Safer Homes Promotoras work to reduce exposure to home health hazards like lead, toxics, and asthma triggers, though residents education and door to door, face to face outreach. Through organizational and individual outreach, Pacoima Beautiful has provided education to thousands of residents on how to prevent exposure to potentially harmful indoor pollutants.

Population(s) Served
Adults

These programs address the Northeast San Fernando Valley's historic pollution burden through better planning and community projects (like the Pacoima Wash project, Urban Greening Plan), and concentrating on cumulative impacts of multiple pollution sources - compounded by lack of access to good jobs, open space, affordable health care, housing, healthy foods and higher education.
