Director: Rose Padilla Johnson
Rose Padilla Johnson has been with the agency
for the past 13 years as its executive director. She has grown the
agency from a $380,000 organization to today’s 6.7 million dollar
agency. The growth has been intentional and focused on increasing
the comprehensiveness of services provided.
Presently the center provides quality affordable childcare to over
1000 children-both in our licensed centers and through voucher
subsidies, food, clothing and miscellaneous household items to
nearly 500 people each month, free acute medical care and physical
therapy to approximately 50 uninsured and underinsured individuals
each week, job training/placement services to over 300 people moving
from welfare to work, economic literacy and other life skills
workshop and a full range of mental health services to over 1500
people each year, with a particular focus on providing program
designed to reduce youth related violence in our community. We have
added support services that include free income tax preparation
assistance focusing on the Earned Income Tax Credit and the
Childcare Tax Credit, utility assistance and together with the
Alameda County Fire Department provide a Holiday Basket of food and
toys to over 1000 needy families.
Rose has transformed
Davis Street into one of the most comprehensive non-profit providers
of human services in the Greater San Leandro area. In October 2002
she achieved her personal goal of creating the Davis Street Family
Resource Center. The new site houses all the agencies programs in
one location, eliminating the transportation obstacles folks face
when needing assistance.
In addition to her work at Davis Street, Rose is Vice President of
Community, Education and Workforce Development Division of the San
Leandro Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors; Past Chair and
member of the Alameda County Childcare Local Planning Council; Co-
