Notably, in this past year, LUNA has begun working on a violence prevention campaign with the Santa Clara County Department of Health in the Cadillac/Winchester neighborhood. LUNA's organizers have established the goal of neighborhood development and creating spaces/campaigns for cross-neighborhood collaboration on issues they share. This includes the housing support system, air quality campaign, and immigration, which will allow community leaders in all our neighborhoods to connect, share ideas and strategies, and build capacity to support each other with the problems that are occurring in their communities. Our central mission remains to empower those in the most vulnerable neighborhoods to be able to act effectively on their behalf. Leadership and organizing expertise can be applied to addressing any challenge a neighborhood faces. 139076 6448 CCSPP: the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP) is a grant program in collaboration with Sunrise Middle School and it is focus on two separate projects. The first one is creating a mental health awareness campaign that could help fight the stigma that mental health has. The second is know your rights and Family Plans for Undocumented Immigrants. This project was to help create family plans for undocumented immigrants to have in place in case they were arrested. 116634 Air Quality: the Air Quality campaign, aims to enhance environmental awareness and foster active participation in local environmental initiatives across several East Side neighborhoods. This cohort of 5 members and 2 organizers participated in Canopy's Canopy Certified Community Forestry School, a ten-week program involving 10 online classes, University of California online coursework, 4 in-person fieldwork days, and 15 hours of hands-on community service applying skills learned during the coursework. All 5 community leaders and both organizers completed the program, receiving UC Climate Stewards and Canopy Certified Community Forester certificates.

Notably, since November of 2025, this group has participated in 6 community tree plantings, planting 10 trees in parks and park strips across San Jose and 2 in East Palo Alto. 285936 See Schedule O. 285936 686336 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 20 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false CA X Jose Romero 4084936486 1692 Story RD STE 221 San Jose CA 95122 Alfonso Mendez Treasurer 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Brenda Zendejas VICE-PRESIDENT/SECRETARY 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Delma Hernandez PRESIDENT 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Huascar Castro Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Jeremy Barousse Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Michelle Cordova Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Rita Birrueta Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Jose Romero Co-Director 40.0 X 69027 0 12325 Socorro Montano Co-Director 40.0 X 72737 0 13028 141764 0 25353 0 false false false 0 164502 591669 756171 Program Service Revenue 900099 6448 6448 0 0 0 0 6448 0 0 0 0 1310 9141 -7831 -7831 0 0 0 0 0 754788 6448 0 -7831 500 500 167117 162233 2058 2826 316954 312120 4834 14379 14166 213 40669 35254 4219 1196 34208 33708 500 12700 10886 1814 40754 35004 5515 235 2766 2074 346 346 14611 8939 3729 1943 25240 18789 3319 3132 28882 19255 6418 3209 3829 218 3611 9146 9146 6681 5727 954 Program Expenses 26549 17353 8696 500 Training & Education 18138 18138 Reimbursable Expenses 1125 964 161 Chapter Expenses 520 520 0 0 0 0 764768 686336 56049 22383 749125 769784 313012 278622 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1062137 1048406 12866 22155 0 0 35389 22349 0 0 48255 44504 1013882 1003902 1013882 1003902 1062137 1048406 -9980 0 X false false false X 473766 1097281 1354690 481042 756171 4162950 3314 7902 6448 17664 33719 11332 8985 1310 55346 0 0 0 0 473766 1131000 1369336 497929 763929 4235960 0 146400 486909 200000 85000 918309 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 146400 486909 200000 85000 918309 3317651 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 473766 1131000 1369336 497929 763929 4235960 0.78321 0.79296 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Housing Support System - Total Expenses: $102,491; Grants: $0; Revenue: $0 The housing support system was established to achieve a multi-platform and interconnected support system led by community leaders from different neighborhoods in East San Jose to build awareness and skills for housing justice. To date, this project has been completed with two cohorts totaling 25 participating community leaders. Next year, the program will shift from organizers developing leaders to leaders mentoring new participants. This will allow program graduates to continue building their leadership skills by mentoring others in their communities. We see this as a logical and critical next step in our focus to develop community leaders in our base.
