Garcia most recently served with Tree Eastie, a nonprofit dedicated to urban forestry and food justice, before working in housing relocation, where he supported hundreds of Boston residents facing displacement due to redevelopment. His work has centered on case management, community engagement, and ensuring equitable access to resources.
After a decade of living in East Boston, Carlos is excited to serve as the neighborhood liaison at City Hall, strengthening connections between residents and city services.
