Since its inception, the Immigrant Action Network advocated and collaborated with community members, nonprofit partners, and county departments for Contra Costa County to invest in a resource hub for everyone. As a result, on April 29, 2025, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors invested $5M to launch a SAFE (Services and Access For Everyone) a new community space designed to connect immigrant individuals and families with resources, support, and opportunities across Contra Costa County.
To advance its goal of immigrant inclusion, IAN creates opportunities for immigrants and long-time residents to connect, learn, lead, and participate fully in community life.
