Founded in 2002, NURVE’s founding vision was to create “a safe, diverse and thriving place, where kids walk to quality schools, people of all ages use the parks and community facilities, and a variety of housing options meet the needs of local residents.” By sharing financial resources to renovate and rebuild five community assets, NURVE partners have improved conditions in this Richmond neighborhood.
For more than 20 years, RCF has brought people together through the Nystrom United Revitalization Effort (NURVE) a collaborative effort between the RCF Connects and various City, County and community entities. Through this partnership, we are committed to a comprehensive, long-term approach to community revitalization—one that honors the history of its people and places. Our partners include the City of Richmond, Contra Costa County, community residents, Bay Area LISC, West Contra Costa Unified School District, National Park Service, Richmond Housing Authority (RHA), Santa Fe, Coronado, and Iron Triangle neighborhood councils, among others.
