WHAT'S HAPPENING
This is a Measure T1 Phase 2 project.
Located next to Grove Park, the Martin Luther King Jr. Youth Services Center/Young Adult Project (Y.A.P.) houses various afterschool and summer recreation programs such as tutoring, violence prevention, and leadership development for teens and young adults.
The MLK Jr. Youth Services Center/Y.A.P. has been designated as one of the City's care and shelter facilities identified in the City's Resilience Strategy. The primary objective of this project is a seismic retrofit of this 1950s building, as well as various interior and exterior upgrades in order to create a more modern and flexible recreation center that is safe and accessible to the community it serves.
In 2022, the City developed the project's conceptual design through a public process including feedback from community meetings, focus groups workshops, park canvassing, and an online survey. Download the project update. The conceptual design is currently in review for a Zoning Permit.
