Urban Alchemy (UA) is a San Francisco-based non-profit organization 501(C)(3) led by founder and chief executive officer Lena Miller.[1] A receiver of different state and city funds, UA's organizational mission involves patrolling neighborhoods in several cities, now including San Francisco CA, Oakland, Los Angeles, Culver City, Austin TX, Birmingham AL, and Portland OR. The organization hires groups of community "ambassadors" who regularly interact with homeless people in substitute for a police presence, but UA and city officials have both agreed that UA employees are providing services that fit California state's definition of "security activities" that normally would fall under state regulations.[2]
According to their website, Urban Alchemy contracts with public and private organizations such as "the City & County of San Francisco, the City of Los Angeles, the City of Oakland, [...] the Tenderloin Community Benefit District [etc.]"[3]
