The City of Oakland conducted a City-wide Community and Neighborhood Needs Assessment required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The survey polled respondents about the level of need in their respective neighborhoods for various types of improvements that can potentially be addressed by the use of entitlement funds. The input received helped determine the priorities and resource allocations for federal HUD funds over the next five years. Thank you for your anticipated participation and your ongoing commitment to the City of Oakland.

Past Community Meetings
City staff held two community meetings in May 2015. The first meeting was held at Oakland City Hall on May 6 from 5:30 to 7pm, a central location easily accessible by BART and with ample parking. The second meeting was held at the East Oakland Senior Center on May 18 from 6 to 8 pm. At the community wide meetings City staff solicited input on housing, economic development and community development needs and priorities. Other organizations and citizens invited to these meetings included East Bay Housing Organizations and City Council constituents. These meetings were advertised via email to a list of over 900 subscribers that included emails of participants from all Community Development District (CDD) boards and interested residents, representatives from community organizations and business owners involved in other Oakland community planning efforts (e.g.: Housing Element and Specific Plan email lists). In addition to the above email list, separate emails were sent to the constituent email lists for the Mayor and all City Council members. All CDD board representatives (approximately 59 members) received hard copy meeting announcements and surveys via USPS. A notice of these meetings was also posted on the City’s webpage. Interpretation services in languages other than English and for American Sign Language were also available for both community meetings. All meeting locations were accessible to wheelchairs. Following are the detail of comments and questions received during each community meetings and the City’s response to each of those comments and questions.
