Dear Affordable Housing Supporter:
Thank you for your interest in the East Bay Housing Organizations’ website, an essential tool to assist activists, consumers, elected officials, municipal staff and non-profit Affordable housing practitioners throughout the East Bay. Highlights of EBHO’s initiatives this year included:
• Organizing Affordable Housing Week, a series of events showcasing Affordable housing solutions and resources from May 11 – May 20, 2007;
• Leading a broad coalition in Concord to ensure that the full spectrum of Affordable housing is a central component in the redevelopment and reuse of the Concord Naval Weapons Station;
• Coordinating community efforts in Oakland to implement and strengthen policies that promote Affordable housing development and preservation;
• Partnering with interfaith communities to support Affordable housing and explore Affordable housing development opportunities on religious properties.
East Bay Housing Organizations continues to be a powerful voice for Affordable housing in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. EBHO is dedicated to working with its members and allies to promote housing choices and solutions that meet the needs of all families; that stop displacement and end homelessness; and that advance a vision of racial, economic, and social justice.
In the upcoming year, we look forward to continuing our work with community-based organizations, congregations, housing staff members, public officials and Affordable housing advocates and developers who are leading efforts in their communities to address the lack of Affordable housing. Together we can demonstrate and realize effective, practical and creative housing solutions for the East Bay.
We are looking forward to another successful year working with you.
Sincerely,
Amie Fishman Executive Director
Eric Saijo Board President
