Progress is underway on the issuance of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select a developer for the supportive housing project at People’s Park. Outreach efforts are underway with prospective developers to discuss the project. After issuing an RFQ in the first quarter of 2025, the goal is to bring a developer on board this summer, two years ahead of the anticipated start of construction.
In parallel, the campus is working closely with the City of Berkeley and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to extend funding earmarked for this project. These efforts are key to ensuring the successful delivery of the supportive housing project, which will begin after the completion of the student housing at People’s Park. We remain committed to advancing this transformative project that will provide much-needed permanent housing and services for the neediest in our community.
