The Silver Valley Community Resource Center is a nonprofit grassroots group. We have been in existence since 1986. We work closely with churches, unions, social service agencies, the elderly and people with low-income. We work with local, regional and national groups with similar interests.
For more than twenty years The Silver Valley Community Resource Center has been an advocate for the residents of the area and the environment. Over this time we have advocated for and achieved a positive impact on the health and economic status of the Silver Valley communities.
Our primary focus has been:
Housing/homelessness
Adequate Health Care
Economic development/jobs

Working with the EPA in area lead clean-up
Addressing welfare reform legislation
Raising Minimum Wage
Refocusing expenditure of monies from studies to clean-up of the Bunker Hill Superfund Site
