12th Avenue Co-op Formation
Join existing resident co-stewards at 1432 12th Ave to establish a long-developing Affordable Housing Co-op in Oakland. Built in 1889, the Italianate-style home sits in one of Oakland’s earliest neighborhoods, and the building shares an equally rich history – from single-family home to apartments, to squatters and tenant activists organizing against a negligent property owner. It's a 2018 tenant-led fight against the building owners and prospective investors that led to a partnership with Bay Area Community Land Trust, to create lifelong affordable housing for the families living in the building’s seven units.
Historically a collective of resident community organizers, Bay Area Community Land Trust will continue to work with 12th ave resident co-stewards to provide educational sessions throughout the co-op formation process, as the 7 households continue to build out self-governance systems to become a formal legal Cooperative, owners and property managers.
