One Treasure Island

What One Treasure Island does

One Treasure Island is a San Francisco-based 501(c)-style nonprofit organization founded in 1995 (approximately 30 years ago) to develop and steward an equitable, mixed-income community on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island. The organization serves lower-income households, formerly homeless individuals, current island residents and workers, and island employers, operating from a Main Office at 39 Treasure Island Road and the Sherry Williams Community Center at 850 Ave I with a small staff of 1–10 employees. Its core programs include Affordable Housing referral and coordination services, a 6-week Construction Training Program (CTP) pre-apprenticeship with an 85% placement rate within two weeks of graduation, Job Broker Services matching residents to local employers, a Financial Services / Economic Self-Sufficiency Program (ESSP) offering credit counseling and free tax preparation, and a weekly Food Pantry operated in partnership with the San Francisco Food Bank. The organization delivers these programs at no cost to eligible participants through direct community engagement, weekly orientations, recurring community events, and a coordinated network of partner agencies including Catholic Charities, HealthRIGHT 360, Swords to Plowshares, Mercy Housing, HomeRise, and the Chinatown Community Development Center.

The business model is donation- and grant-funded rather than revenue-generating: One Treasure Island does not charge for any service and operates as a community hub that channels public and philanthropic capital into program delivery. The organization is positioned as the central community-services coordinator for the planned 8,000-home Treasure Island redevelopment, over 2,000 units of which are designated for affordable housing, giving it a quasi-official role in ensuring equitable outcomes as the island redevelops. Outreach and beneficiary engagement occur through email newsletters, SMS alerts (text ISLANDNEWS to 855-710-0321), website content, recurring community events, and the annual fundraising gala. The technology footprint is minimal and limited to a Squarespace website plus standard communications tooling — there is no proprietary technology product, API, mobile application, or AI/ML capability.
