Organization description:
East Bay Asian Local Development Corp. develops affordable housing and community facilities with integrated services focused on tenants and neighborhood residents, with emphasis on Asian Pacific Islanders communities and the diverse low-income populations of the East Bay. EBALDC was created around the dream of consolidating under one the many social service agencies that work with the Oakland Asian community by buying and preserving a beautiful but deteriorated warehouse in Oakland’s Chinatown. That warehouse became the Asian Resource Center, a multiservice center to house social services and businesses. The Asian Resource Center is home to EBALDC, various nonprofit agencies, retail businesses, medical facilities, school district classes and the Asian Resource Art Gallery.
