RCD creates and preserves affordable housing for people with the fewest options to build community and enrich lives. For over two decades, RCD has been building affordable housing projects throughout the Bay Area, specifically in communities throughout Alameda, Contra Costa, and Solano Counties. From its beginnings as a small organization focused on the creation of cooperative housing in Berkeley, RCD has grown into a professional, widely-regarded developer with over 1,400 housing units completed, with an additional 420 units in the planning and construction stages. In keeping with its mission to serve residents with the fewest options, over fifty percent of our units serve persons with special needs, such as frail elderly, formerly homeless adults, wheelchair users, and developmentally disabled adults and children. The remainder of RCD's portfolio serves low and moderate income families, in both rental and homeownership settings. RCD owns and operates the majority of its housing developments and contracts with local firms to provide day-to-day property management services. In its supportive housing developments, RCD works with one or more community-based service providers to provide residents the unique and specialized social services they require. RCD's housing development activities include assessing community housing needs, performing community outreach, locating appropriate sites for development, packaging project financing, and overseeing new construction and rehabilitation work. We also establish ties with local government staff, elected officials and community groups to ensure that our properties contribute to the safety and stability of their neighborhoods.
