Casa Sueños
GreenPoint Rated Platinum
Oakland, California
About the Project
Casa Sueños offers 181 affordable homes for families along the bustling commercial corridor in Fruitvale Village.
Casa Sueños is the third stage of the award-winning mixed-income, mixed-use, transit-oriented development of the Fruitvale Transit Village by The Unity Council. Though the site was originally planned as a market-rate housing development, The Unity Council responded to the urgent community need and forged a path forward with City, County and transit partners to develop affordable homes for working families.
Casa Sueños offers 181 units of affordable housing, consisting of studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments. 29 units are subsidized by the Project Based Section 8 Program by the Oakland Housing Authority. 46 units are set aside for supportive housing, and two units are reserved for on-site staff. Casa Sueños also includes 7,500 square feet of affordable commercial retail space for a local nonprofit organization that serves the community.
Located in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood, the development is steps away from the Fruitvale BART station, a major AC Transit hub and the planned Bus Rapid Transit line.
