Puget Sound Sage – Current Work 2010
Green Jobs - Sage is working to create “pathways out of poverty” in the emerging green economy. Our vision is to create thousands of quality jobs in the region that provide career opportunities for low-income people of color, with an emphasis on careers starting in residential weatherization. Our partners include community groups engaging youth and communities of color in the emerging green economy, labor organizations training the new weatherization workforce and environmental groups fighting to expand energy efficiency investment. Our coalition continues to grow and recently, Sage negotiated a pioneering agreement with the City of Seattle to reserve three-quarters of new jobs created by the City’s weatherization program to graduates of training programs serving low-income residents. We are working to expand the green jobs pipeline model to other weatherization programs in Seattle and in the region the coming year.
Campaign for Clean and Safe Ports
Puget Sound Sage is a key member of the Coalition for Clean & Safe Ports, an alliance of environmental, labor, faith, and community organizations that promotes sustainable economic development at American ports. In Seattle , the CCSP works to fix the broken port trucking system, which currently consists of some 1,500 old, rundown diesel trucks moving thousands of cargo containers from the Port of Seattle ’s docks to regional warehouses and rail yards every day, spewing pollution into neighborhoods, schools and offices. The port trucking industry falls short both in terms of workers’ rights, with poor working conditions and low wages, and public health—diesel pollution at ports is associated with high rates of cancer and asthma. Further, port truck drivers are exposed to toxic diesel emissions as their trucks idle while they wait for their next load.
Related to Sage’s campaign to achieve reform at the Port of Seattle , Sage is part of a national campaign to pass federal legislation granting ports the authority to regulate Port trucking through safety, environmental and employment standards.
Transit and TOD Equity
Sage recently began an effort to address transit equity issues in the Seattle area. Transit equity issues include access to transit, access to transit construction, operation and maintenance jobs, and equity impacts of transit-oriented development (TOD) on affordable housing and permanent job quality. In Seattle, transit equity issues include recent transit service re-alignments in southeast Seattle, possible reductions in bus service in south Seattle as new streetcars go into service around downtown Seattle, regional transit funding distribution formulas, impacts of further projected federal cuts in transit funding, impacts of TOD on affordable housing in Rainier Valley, access to transit construction, operation and maintenance jobs in both current and proposed light rail operations, and permanent job quality in new development near existing and planned light rail/streetcar operations. Pending national transit reauthorization legislation will have impacts on regional transit equity issues.
In all issue areas, Sage is developing Civic Leadership Institutes to train community and labor activists on public policy issues, power analysis, and skills development.
Sage is an affirmative action employer, and strongly supports the social goals of affirmative action. We therefore make special efforts to recruit individuals from groups that are historically under-represented in professional environments, or that suffer from broader societal discrimination.

Program on Health, Equity, and Sustainability Intern Position
Summary
Support the San Francisco Department of Public Health's Program on Health,
Equity and Sustainability (PHES) in refining measures of a Healthy Economy
and identifying best land use-related practices to promote equitable
socio-economic health and well-being.
Background
The economic crisis has disproportionately impacted communities already
experiencing high rates of health disparities. Although some
redevelopment projects have historically exacerbated segregation,
displacement and health inequalities, economic and land use
decision-making create significant opportunities to address the social
determinants of health through creation of quality jobs, affordable
housing, and equity-oriented strategies to reduce poverty and violence.
Like many metropolitan areas, San Francisco must contend with multiple,
and often competing, interests and needs as it attempts to strike the
right balance among social, economic, and environmental interests. Despite
the complementary goals of urban planning and public health, health
considerations are typically left off of the scales.
The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) ? Program on Health,
Equity and Sustainability (PHES) (www.sfphes. org) has developed a number
of analytic tools for the evaluation of the potential health impacts of
city planning decisions. This position will work to support one of these

interventions that address employment, violence and social cohesion
through land-use decision-making processes; 2) Develop a general framework
for describing dimensions of a Healthy Economy; 3) Support expansion of
the Healthy Economy section of the HDMT; and 4) Support coordination of a
Health Impact Assessment Mini-Course. Depending on interest and capacity,
opportunities exist to support additional projects as well. The intern
would work closely with members of the SFDPH HDMT team and participate in
regular team meetings and discussions.
Internship Duties
We seek an intern to support a number of specific HDMT activities,
including:
§ Identifying land-use related best practices and evidence-based
interventions that promote health and address employment, violence and
social cohesion
§ Identifying appropriate indicators for inclusion in the HDMT
§ Gathering data on those indicators
§ Conducting research on policies/strategies for ?healthy
development?
§ Supporting HDMT/HIA trainings
Minimum Qualifications:
1. Possession of a Baccalaureate Degree from an accredited college or
university; AND
2. One year of verifiable experience in public health, public policy,
economic development, labor organizing, built environment, public housing,
or related community planning and assessment work; AND
3. Experience doing interdisciplinary research and/or practice.
Preferred Qualifications:
