For years, a historically under-served East Oakland neighborhood had been trying to shut down an old auto dismantling facility, which had become a community eyesore. An affordable housing developer was interested in developing the site but was uncertain about how to finance the site assessment, and was concerned about liability exposure. Funds provided by CCLR were leveraged to secure additional funding for the cleanup. Due to the efforts of the affordable housing developer and its partners, the site has been revitalized into 54 units of affordable, sustainable housing for low-income families.
