Oakland

DignityMoves and the City of Oakland are embarking on a public-private partnership to build Dignity Village. The $14.3 million Project Homekey grant is the first to fund the construction of a new building in Oakland.

The Dignity Village project will be located on empty, city-owned lots on Edes Avenue and Clara Street. It will include 40 new modular housing units to serve seniors, who are tragically the fastest-growing demographic amongst unhoused residents.

Services

Housing Consortium of the East Bay (HCEB) will provide site supervision, security, meals, supportive services, and expected maintenance needs. HCEB was founded in 1997 and has fulfilled its mission by providing housing outreach and support services, developing affordable housing, partnering with other nonprofit and for-profit companies to secure set-asides within larger rental communities, and owning and operating permanent support housing.
