Description
The Filipino American Development Foundation (FADF) seeks to support the Filipino community, prioritizing low-income Filipino immigrants and longtime residents of San Francisco's South of Market (SOMA) neighborhood.

The collection includes materials relating to the SOMA Filipino community and Filipino activism, redevelopment of 1010 Mission Street, fundraising and grant materials, and publications. Media types include papers, floppy disks and photographs.
