Jamie Viloria

Director

As a resident of the Tenderloin and Community Organizer for the housing non-profit Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation, Jaime Viloria (he/him) works to continue to improve the lives of people in the Tenderloin through policy changes on issues that negatively impact them. Recognizing that most of the issues are city-wide issues magnified in the Tenderloin, he continues to get residents involved in city-wide efforts. Housing, environmental inequities, healthy food access, open space and recreation, and access to services are examples of issues that can be partly addressed by having a public transit system that serves the transit-dependent people the most, like the people of the Tenderloin.
