 Pacoima Beautiful is a resident-driven, bilingual, multi-cultural, community-based organization located in the northeast San Fernando Valley in the City of Los Angeles. Pacoima Beautiful’s mission is to empower the Pacoima community through programs that provide environmental education, advocacy and local leadership in order to foster a healthy and safe environment. Initially founded in 1996 by five residents, Pacoima Beautiful reaches thousands of residents annually through three programs:
- Community Inspectors
- Pacoima Beautiful Youth Environmentalists
- Safer Homes for a Healthy Community
Pacoima Beautiful has a history of bringing together residents, organizations, university faculty and classes, elected officials and regulatory agencies around environmental justice and environmental health issues in the community and working toward positive change.
Generating scientifically sound data and communicating it in a respectful, culturally appropriate way to the community, as well as to policy makers, has allowed Pacoima Beautiful’s environmental agenda to be at the forefront of local community action.
