BRIDGE Housing Cuts Ribbon on Oakland Affordable
Nonprofit affordable housing developer and manager BRIDGE Housing and social equity development corporation The Unity Council recently hosted dignitaries, partners and community members to celebrate the grand opening of Casa Sueños, a 181-unit affordable housing community in Oakland’s Fruitvale Village. The project was developed in partnership with city, county and transit partners and is a short walk
away from Fruitvale BART station, a major AC Transit hub, and the planned Bus Rapid Transit.
Located at the intersection of East 12th Street and 35th Avenue, Casa Sueños will help address Oakland’s
housing shortage by providing studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments that will be
affordable for families earning 20-80% of Area Median Income, BRIDGE Housing said. Forty-six units are reserved for residents who have previously experienced homelessness, with permanent supportive services provided by Lifelong Medical Care and funded by Alameda County.
Casa Sueños also includes 7,500 square feet of affordable ground-floor commercial space that will be
utilized by Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice, an Oakland-based nonprofit focused on ending youth criminalization and mass incarceration.
