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 will offer 181 units of affordable housing, consisting of studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments. 29 units will be 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.
