Mission Economic Development Agency remote jobs and company guide

For more than 50 years, the Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA) has worked alongside Mission District families to expand economic mobility and strengthen community power. What began as a neighborhood-driven effort has grown into a nationally recognized model - combining direct services with policy leadership, community real estate, and place-based strategies that push systems to work better for Latino communities.

MEDA's place-based strategies help families stay rooted, expand opportunity, and build long-term assets. Grounded in community leadership, their work strengthens the systems that shape daily life - housing, education, capital access, and economic mobility. Serving over 18,000 clients annually at no cost, MEDA provides practical tools, coaching, and connections in English and Spanish so families can move forward on their own terms. From free tax preparation that returned $8.8 million to low-income residents in 2024, to deploying $16.1 million in affordable loans to 525 small business owners, MEDA creates pathways to prosperity that build generational wealth for Latino and working-class families in San Francisco's Mission District and beyond.
