New Affordable Housing Project Proposed in Eastmont, Oakland
In a significant push towards addressing the housing needs in East Oakland, preliminary permits have been filed for a new affordable housing development at 2500 76th Avenue in the Eastmont neighborhood. This project, backed by Eden Housing, aims to transform a vacant parcel into a vibrant community for senior residents.
Eden Housing’s proposal is part of a broader initiative to redevelop the underutilized land surrounding the Eastmont Town Center, a hub for shopping and social services in East Oakland. The project will introduce at least 90 affordable housing units, focusing on creating an inclusive and engaging environment for its senior occupants. The development will feature interconnected yards and outdoor spaces designed to foster community interaction and host social events.
Community-Centric Design
The design of the new complex emphasizes a walkable community, with outdoor spaces playing a central role. A community front yard will serve as a venue for events, while an entry courtyard will connect residents to various social spaces. A second-level backyard will be equipped with seasonal gardens, enhancing the community’s appeal and functionality.
The property, spanning approximately 0.75 acres, is strategically located along Bancroft Avenue between 76th and 77th Streets. Its proximity to the Arroyo Viejo Recreation Center and the Eastmont Town Center ensures easy access to essential amenities and recreational facilities.
Collaborative Efforts
The project is a collaborative effort involving the California Affordable Housing Initiatives (CAHI), a branch of the Oakland Housing Authority that manages project-based Section 8 contracts from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. CAHI’s involvement underscores the commitment to providing affordable housing solutions in the region.
This development follows recent plans by V23 Investment LLC for similar affordable housing projects in the area, as reported by YIMBY.
