S3: Ep 6: Developing BayView Hunters Point with Michael Baines and Cathy Davis
Our guests this week, Michael Baines and Cathy Davis, have done incredible work to help our city’s challenged neighborhoods. Michael Baines is a developer and contractor for low-income housing and founded his own company, BGI Group Inc. Even more, his company is the largest employer of formerly incarcerated people in the Bay Area. Cathy Davis is the Executive Director of Bayview Hunters Point Multipurpose Senior Services, a nonprofit that provides services to disadvantaged seniors in San Francisco. She likewise runs the Dr. George W. Davis Senior Center, founded by her late husband George Davis, and built by Michael’s company.
With Michael as the builder and Cathy running the non-profit and senior center, the two have made an immense and tangible impact on their community. They’ve made a social justice development model that’s broken barriers for the city’s seniors and even involved whole communities to create a commercial kitchen that generates profit for the senior center. They do their work humbly and whole-heartedly. We believe this interview is priceless in its wisdom about helping those in need.
