Oakland, CA — EAH Housing and the Oakland Housing Authority are pleased to announce Cathedral Gardens has been selected as a finalist in the “Family” category of Affordable Housing Finance Magazine Readers’ Choice Award.

To vote for Cathedral Gardens, you must be an AHF subscriber as of July 1. Voting takes place between July 13 and August 14. View the list of nominees and voting instructions here. 

Cathedral Gardens provides 100 affordable rental apartments in Oakland. The three building community features a restored and historically significant century-old rectory that formerly housed staff of the Saint Francis de Sales Cathedral. The development was made possible by the Oakland Housing Authority, which purchased the site and made it available to EAH Housing through a long term ground lease.

Cathedral Gardens is designed to be energy- and water-efficient; the community is in the process of LEED Platinum Certification. “Platinum” is the highest of four levels of certification recognizing achievement in green building. The fully leased, amenity-rich Cathedral Gardens features a community room, technology lounge, fitness center and resource coordination services.
