Advocacy Work

San Francisco Veterans Affairs Commission

As the youngest African American male veteran appointed to the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Commission, Prince brings a fresh perspective and a strong voice to critical issues affecting the veteran community. His work on the Commission focuses on three core areas: employment, healthcare, and housing — the pillars of a stable life for every veteran.

Prince has worked to advise city leadership on creating pathways for veterans to secure meaningful careers after service, while also advocating for expanded healthcare access that includes mental health support. Recognizing the growing housing challenges in San Francisco, he continues to push for initiatives that prevent homelessness among veterans and provide stable, affordable housing options.

His role on the Commission is not symbolic — it is active, hands-on leadership aimed at ensuring that veterans’ sacrifices are honored with real opportunities and support.
