Concord Campaign
EBHO has joined community partners in the City of Concord to advocate for affordable housing and tenant rights in Contra Costa County’s largest city. Our concord committee provides education, technical assistance, and advocacy on affordable housing.
As part of Raise the Roof Concord, we advocated for strong pandemic eviction moratoriums in Concord and Contra Costa County and pressed the city to redistribute CARES act funding to provide tenant legal services in the county. Working with partners for over a decade, we continue to advocate for 25% affordable housing in the Concord Naval Weapons Station redevelopment process, the use of publicly-owned land for new affordable homes in Concord, and funding for homeless services and affordable homes. For more information on our Concord work, please contact Policy Manager Aaron Tiedemann at aaron@ebho.org.
