Dignity Housing West II/ Harp Plaza
Oakland, CA

Dignity Housing offers new apartment housing for low-income families, with a special emphasis on homeless and formerly homeless residents.  The non-profit housing developer, Dignity Housing West, was founded in 1989 to develop service-enriched housing for the homeless population of Alameda County.  The project includes a multi-use day care facility, on-site counseling offices, and a landscaped courtyard over a parking garage.  The development consists of 20 units of two & three bedroom flats and townhouse units, with 80% of the apartments fully ADA accessible.  The design of the project encourages a sense of community while preserving the privacy of individual residential spaces. Financing is from the City of Oakland, low income tax credits, and private lenders and investors.
