BACLT launches Berkeley’s 1st Small Sites Pilot with 100-year Baptist Church to Fight Displacement

BACLT obtained a $950,000 loan for our Stuart Street Apartments project in partnership with the McGee Avenue Baptist Church. This low interest and long-term loan from the City will make this co-op of 8 units into permanently affordable housing for those of low and moderate income. Soaring housing costs and intensifying gentrification have led to massive displacement of the African American community in Berkeley.

McGee Avenue Baptist Church could be a potential 8-unit complex could provide critically needed housing in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood.
