• CULTURAL & HISTORICAL MARKERS - SAGE COMMISSIONS THE INSTALLATION OF HISTORICAL MARKERS THROUGHOUT THE EASTSIDE, COMMEMORATING SIGNIFICANT EVENTS, LOCATIONS, AND INDIVIDUALS, IN TURN HELPING RESIDENTS AND VISITORS CONNECT WITH THE AREA'S HISTORY.

• COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT - SAGE HOSTS COMMUNITY AND SPECIAL EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, INCLUDING: HALLOEAST - HALLOEAST IS A FREE FAMILY-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY BLOCK PARTY CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN. THIS EVENT IS MORE THAN JUST TRICK-OR-TREATING -- IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS TO CONNECT WITH NEIGHBORS AND SHARE VALUABLE COMMUNITY RESOURCES. THIS EVENT ATTRACTED OVER 530 ATTENDEES AND MORE THAN 50 VENDORS FROM THE COMMUNITY. IN 2024 SAGE WAS AWARDED A 150,000 COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (CED) PLANNING GRANT FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AIMED AT BUILDING THE ADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITY NEEDED TO DEVELOP A PUBLIC MARKET COMPLEX ON SAN ANTONIO'S EASTSIDE. THIS PLANNING PROJECT MARKS A SIGNIFICANT STEP FORWARD IN SAGE'S COMMITMENT TO FOSTERING ECONOMIC VITALITY IN THIS MINORITY-MAJORITY AREA, WHICH HAS LONG GRAPPLED WITH SYSTEMIC POVERTY, HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, AND THE LINGERING EFFECTS OF HISTORICAL DISENFRANCHISEMENT THROUGH REDLINING, RACIAL SEGREGATION, AND GOVERNMENTAL DISINVESTMENT. THROUGH THE CED PLANNING FUNDS, SAGE WILL DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE, COMMUNITY-INFORMED BUSINESS PLAN TO ESTABLISH A PUBLIC MARKET COMPLEX THAT WILL SERVE AS AN ECONOMIC ANCHOR FOR THE EASTSIDE. THIS VIBRANT COMMUNITY SPACE IS ENVISIONED TO ADDRESS THE CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF GROCERY STORES, DINING, AND ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS IN THE AREA, AND CREATE A CENTRAL HUB WHERE RESIDENTS CAN SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES, ENJOY COMMUNITY EVENTS, AND ACCESS ESSENTIAL GOODS AND SERVICES. IN 2025, SAGE WAS AWARDED A CED IMPLEMENTATION GRANT FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES TOTALING 800,000 TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A REVOLVING LOAN PROGRAM INTENDED TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE EASTSIDE COMMUNITY.

THIS EFFORT AIMS TO RECONNECT HISTORICALLY DIVIDED NEIGHBORHOODS, ENHANCE MOBILITY, AND SPUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. SAGE DIRECTLY ENGAGES MORE THAN 7,000 COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH ITS WEBSITE, SEMI-MONTHLY NEWSLETTER, AND SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT.
