The call for fair and equitable housing has long been part of the broader fight for justice.

Leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. spoke out about housing inequality, recognizing that access to safe housing is deeply connected to opportunity, education, and economic mobility.

Advocates like Dorothy Day also emphasized dignity and community support for those experiencing poverty and homelessness.

At Alameda Point Collaborative (APC), we carry that vision forward—providing not just housing, but pathways to independence through job training, community, and support services.

Housing is more than shelter—it’s a foundation for opportunity.

Affordable housing in the U.S. has been shaped by major policy decisions.

During the Great Depression, leaders like Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harold L. Ickes helped expand public housing, creating new opportunities for millions.

But these systems were not created equally—many communities were excluded, laying the groundwork for housing disparities that still exist today.

At Alameda Point Collaborative (APC), we work to close those gaps by providing supportive housing that centers dignity, access, and long-term stability.

Housing policy shapes lives—and so does the work we do today.

What a powerful turnout for the McKay Avenue ribbon cutting!

With more than 300 community members in attendance, the celebration marked an exciting and meaningful milestone for Alameda.

The opening of Arnold’s Place, a 50-bed medical respite center, reflects what’s possible when a community comes together with purpose. Named in honor of Arnold Perkins, this new space will provide short-term, supportive care for unhoused individuals recovering from illness or hospitalization—offering not just medical support, but dignity, stability, and connection.

We’re deeply grateful to all who attended, partnered, and helped bring this vision to life.

Moments like this remind us: real progress happens when people show up. Thank you for being part of it.

May is National Affordable Housing Month — a time to recognize that housing is more than a roof over one’s head. Stable homes provide safety, opportunity, and a foundation for families to rebuild their lives.

At Alameda Point Collaborative (APC), permanent supportive housing helps residents gain independence, pursue employment, and focus on their future. Every home we provide is a step toward stability.

Throughout this month, we’ll be exploring the history of housing in the United States—highlighting key moments and voices that have shaped where we are today—and how that history connects to the work we do every day at APC.

Because understanding the past helps us build a more equitable future.

Because of you, our community is stronger, more connected, and full of opportunity.

Thank you for showing up, giving back, and being an essential part of our mission.

Earth Day is a reminder that caring for our environment is also caring for our community.

At Alameda Point Collaborative, sustainability is part of our everyday work. Through programs like Farm2Market, Ploughshares Nursery, and our community garden, residents and volunteers come together to grow food, cultivate green spaces, and promote environmental stewardship.

These spaces do more than support the planet — they provide opportunities for learning, job training, and community connection. By investing in sustainability, we’re helping build healthier environments and stronger futures for the families we serve.

Together, we can nurture both people and the planet.
