Tell Oakland: STOP Gutting Affordable Housing Funding!

On Friday, March 11, the City Staff published two reports for the Community and Economic Development Committee. One dealt with the proposed Impact Fee ordinance and another dealt with the reprogramming of funds originally budgeted for new affordable housing. The changes proposed in these reports threaten to gut much-needed funding for affordable housing for low-income Oakland workers and residents and disproportionately impact communities of color.
