The Unity Council proudly hosted the groundbreaking event for the East 12th Street affordable housing project, marking the start of construction on 91 units of 100% affordable housing. This momentous occasion celebrates not only the future residents of these homes but also the collective dedication of our community, partners, and visionaries who have worked tirelessly to bring this project to life.
The event was a true community celebration, featuring local restaurants, inspiring speakers, and a shared vision for a more equitable Oakland. We extend our deepest gratitude to the funders and partners who made this project possible:
