Affordable housing for the Arts

Our goal is not only to secure our home and preserve this historical monument to creative living and Oakland ingenuity, but to share what we have learned along the way—to educate and assist those looking to take matters into their own hands when their home is threatened.  We have recently published a photo book, thanks to Oakland artist Constance Hockaday, which documents our 38 years of existence.  For more information or to order a copy, go here: _________link____________. 
 
We have also been documenting the lengthy process of purchasing the property.  We have made excellent contacts within the city government and private sector and are well-poised to become a much-needed case study for tenants looking to come together, engage with their community, and secure housing which is affordable and suitable to their lifestyles.
