After nearly 60 years of service advancing justice and equity in Lane County, Community Alliance of Lane County (CALC) has made the strategic decision to sell its longtime headquarters at 458 Blair Blvd. This move reflects CALC\u2019s ongoing commitment to meet emerging community needs with flexibility, innovation, and renewed purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CALC will continue operations through remote collaboration, ongoing partnerships, and its Springfield location\u2014anchored by our enduring values of justice, solidarity, human rights, action, courage, appreciation, and joy. The organization\u2019s focus is evolving to deepen youth engagement and civic participation across Lane County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proceeds from the sale will strengthen CALC\u2019s financial foundation and expand core programs that empower young BIPOC leaders. These include the UdA (Uni\u00f3n de Activistas<\/a>) <\/strong>program and its new extension, Serving Justice<\/em>\u2014a mobile initiative supporting youth entrepreneurship, career development, and community advocacy through a reimagined food truck model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSelling the building was a tough decision, but necessary for our next chapter,\u201d said Co-Director Teresa Gutierrez. \u201cCALC\u2019s legacy doesn\u2019t reside in four walls\u2014it lives in the voices of our youth and the communities we uplift.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Board Chair Melissa Cari\u00f1o added, \u201cThis space nurtured a movement. Now, that movement continues beyond the building\u2014with stronger impact and broader reach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As CALC turns this page, the organization extends deep gratitude to the volunteers, staff, and supporters who have helped shape its legacy. The leadership team remains committed to building a just and inclusive future\u2014where empowered youth are central to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
