latest version:
The State of California requires cities and counties
every 7 to 8 years to identify major housing challenges and strategies, and show how they will meet new
housing production requirements in a plan called the
Housing Element The Oakland City Council will be
voting to approve the Oakland Housing Element in
January 2023. The City needs to hear from residents
about your housing priorities for Oakland!
What is the Housing Element?
Why Should We Care?
Based upon Community Engagement,
Oakland residents have identified their top
housing priorities as:
Stop Displacement
The Black population in Oakland has
decreased by 35% between 2000-2020.
Make Housing Affordable
In the last Regional Housing Needs
Assessment Cycle, the City did not meet its
goals for very low and low income
affordable housing, achieving only 42% of
the State’s goals or 1,745 units.
End Homelessness
Homelessness has increased by 131% from
2015 to 2022 in the city of Oakland.

The Deeply Rooted Collaborative identified 39 community proposed policies through our engagement process from
November 2021 - October 2022. We have successfully
advocated for 28 policies that were integrated into the Housing Element. For the remaining policies we plan to
meet with City Council members before the public hearing on 1/24/23.
Take Action
Source: RHNA Goals 2013- 2021, City of Oakland, Draft Housing Element, 2023-2031 To make sure housing policies and programs are inclusive and represent the values and ideas of Oakland’s diverse population, the City needs to hear from as many Oakland residents and community members as possible.
*"RHNA" or Regional Housing Needs Allocation is the determination of the amount and affordability level of new homes that a local government plans for in its Housing Element.

Who is the Deeply Rooted in Oakland Partnership?
For the first time in the City of Oakland’s planning history, the Planning Department funded Community Engagement focused on reaching low income communities of color that have been historically marginalized by government planning processes. This historic effort resulted in the selection of the Deeply Rooted in Oakland Partnership (Deeply Rooted Collaborative) to ensure that residents experiencing socio-economic, environmental, and racial disparities participate in planning for Oakland’s future. Deeply Rooted is a collaboration between 13 multiracial organizations that have been serving Oakland’s low income communities of color for many years.
Our collaborative counters a legacy of discrimination by ensuring that marginalized residents participate in creating an equitable and culturally-thriving Oakland.
