MAAC Housing Project (San Diego)

In 1965, MAAC Project opened its doors to serve San Diego’s disadvantaged. MAAC provides a spectrum of unique programs designed to assist clients by engaging them in the enhancement of their own lives through lifestyle changes. The programs strive to improve clients’ economic standing as well as their ability to access resources available to them. MAAC serves San Diego County families through HeadStart/FirstStart, nutritional programs, low-income home weatherization and improvement, two notable and culturally specific recovery homes, award winning affordable housing complexes and a charter school.

The current playground structure, located at the MAAC Housing Project, is more than 15 years old. The structure no longer meets playground safety standards, and its dilapidated parts make the structure hazardous for children to play on. Parents at the site rarely use the playground equipment, and children in the area lack a safe place to play. Through the playground project, MAAC intends to remove the old playground equipment and expand the size of the current site, creating a safe space for children to play, and an area where families in the neighborhood can hold informal and special events.
