HCD Completed HCD reviewed an application from the owners of the Lake Merritt Lodge (LML) as part of the City's
Homekey 3.0 NOFA process. HCEB was not party to
that application. The LML owner's application was
deemed insufficient and the project did not advance
for City or State Homekey funding. Since then, the
owners of LML have not submitted a new application
for review. However, HCEB has applied for CCE funds
for a property located at 1888 MLK and applied to the
City's R2H2/Homekey 4.0 NOFA which cloesd in
February, 2024. The State recently notified the City
that the CCE application for 1888 MLK was successful.

underwriting that would close the financing gap and
allow the acquisition of the project to be completed
within the next 3-4 months.

OPRYD In progress OPRYD had considered relocating the Lincoln Square program, in part, to Wilma Chan Park for the summer
camp. However, it's important to note that Wilma
Chan Park lacks the appropriate infrastructure to host
our summer camp programming. Initially,
construction timelines indicated a start in the summer
of 2024. However, the updated timeline has
construction commencing in the fall of 2024.

Consequently, the Lincoln Square summer camp will
remain on-site for the summer.

OPRYD Administration is collaborating with the
Lincoln Square Center Director to identify and secure
alternative program locations in the area for fall
programs and operations. Staff are currently in
discussions with the Oakland Asian Culture Center and
Shoong Family Chinese Culture Center to potentially
provide program space to accommodate some of the
Lincoln programs.
16 Arts and Culture (Bas) We encourage the City Administrator to prioritize hiring open positions to ensure Cultural Affairs can achieve its goals and directives, and explore ways the Administration can subsidize artist performances across the city, for
