Ground Floor Public Affairs

06/05/2026

We're excited to see our client Episcopal Community Services of San Francisco (ECS) recognized for the life-changing work they do every day.

This story is a testament to Aniyah's hard work and determination in overcoming adversity, while also demonstrating what can happen when our communities invest in people. After finding housing through ECS, Aniyah completed the organization's REACH workforce training program and now works for ECS as a specialist, helping clients secure employment and develop the financial skills needed to maintain stable housing.

Aniyah Lacey learned entry-level skills from a nine-week workforce training program.

San Francisco showed up for mental health.

The San Francisco Giants and the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation unveiled Fibers of Life at China Basin Park, a breathtaking public heart sculpture created by The Apexer, a Bayview artist whose work is as rooted in this city as the communities it serves.

This is what it looks like when sport, public health, and art come together around a shared purpose and shed a light on mental health. Ground Floor is proud to work alongside both organizations and grateful to witness the impact they continue to make for San Francisco.

Congratulations to the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation on a powerful Hearts in SF 2026 gala.

Proud to support our client and the life-saving impact they make every day.

"The Tenderloin is sort of the heart and soul of the city. You can't have a successful San Francisco without a successful Tenderloin." -Chris Larsen, Philanthropist and Executive Chairman of Ripple, Inc.

Chris Larsen, Mayor Daniel Lurie, Supervisor Bilal Mahmood, the SF Office of Economic & Workforce Development, and the Tenderloin Community Benefit District recently announced a public-private partnership to revitalize Larkin Street in the Tenderloin. Through Chris Larsen’s generous $5 million investment, two blocks of Larkin Street will see improved lighting, enhanced street cleaning, new security gates, and expanded cultural programming.

Ground Floor was honored to support this effort alongside two incredible clients: TLCBD and Chris Larsen.

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re grateful for the clients, partners, and community members who make our work possible. The progress we’ve made this year is a direct result of strong relationships, shared trust, and meaningful collaboration.

We wish everyone a warm and restful holiday season. And if you’re still on the hunt for gifts, or simply want to support the small businesses that keep San Francisco vibrant, we’re sharing a few team favorites.

Last night, our client sf.citiconvened San Francisco’s tech and civic leaders for its annual holiday gathering—creating space to reflect on a year defined by innovation, economic momentum, and sustained investment in downtown recovery. The evening also offered an opportunity to recognize longtime sf.citi Board Chair Rebecca Prozan for her leadership and for strengthening collaboration between the tech community and San Francisco’s civic and elected leaders.

We’re encouraged by sf.citi’s continued role in convening cross-sector voices during a meaningful moment for the city.
