A new affordable housing project could bring 90 units to the Willow Glen area of San Jose. Developers recently purchased multiple parcels at 520 and 544 West Alma Avenue, including the closed-down Agave Sports Bar. Plans filed by Resources for Community Development include outlines for site demolition and the construct of a new affordable building.
Resources for Community Development has opened a six-story and 87-unit project located at 2001 Ashby Avenue in South Berkeley. The project, named after Councilwoman Maudelle Miller Shirek, was first brought in 2021, with ground-breaking occurring in 2022. Delays caused the building to overshoot its projected opening date in 2024, but the project has now made it to completion, and is moving in tenants.
Building permits have been issued for a proposed six-story affordable housing complex at 3801 MLK Jr. Way in Longfellow, Oakland. The project would bring dozens of units next to the MacArthur BART Station. RCD Housing is responsible for the development.
Preliminary plans have been submitted for an affordable residential project at 520 West Alma Avenue in Willow Glen, San Jose. Initial permits will add 91 apartments to the currently vacant parcel near a Caltrain stop. RCD Housing is the project sponsor.
Alameda County has started accepting applications for affordable rental units in the Maudelle Miller Shirek Community Building in South Berkeley. The six-story project is offering 86 units across from the Ashby BART Station and near Berkeley Bowl. Prospective residents will have until February 12th to apply for the lottery drawing.
